“The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last for ever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year – the days when summer is changing into autumn – the crickets spread the rumor of sadness and change.” ―E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web

What are you reading this weekend?

In a time of destruction, create something.

What things can you never stop thinking about? I’m mainly thinking healthy obsessions or put another way — things you feel you were born to be weirdly too interested in — as if God is driving you on. 🧐

I remember my childhood names for grasses and secret flowers. I remember where a toad may live and what time the birds awaken in the summer -- and what trees and seasons smelled like -- how people looked and walked and smelled even. The memory of odors is very rich.

Rainy Saturday for the prince. ❤️

I spent 30 years running from my calling. When I lay dying in hospital, I was given the grace to see that and given the chance to start again. If something is calling to be created through you, don’t ignore it!

If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), "Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?" chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death.

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.

Weekend reads. ❤️

Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel and her creations were hated by the Nazi Party in Germany because Hitler and his friends thought the charming little German children she painted looked like sissies and goblins.
