How often I forget what kind of seed I am and the promise the God is and always will be what He is. Your roses, like your life, bloom more beautifully than I have words for. You're a beacon to me and always have been. From the moment I started this journey, you've been here as an example, a friend, and a mentor. To have an ounce of your goodness. You're so wise. So wonderful. I love you so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015651593178985156.post-34160366599708311822011-05-27T11:16:27.978-07:002011-05-27T11:16:27.978-07:00And, oh I forgot to add - your roses are lovely!And, oh I forgot to add - your roses are lovely!SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439071211238467709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015651593178985156.post-3854402555022972862011-05-27T11:15:43.039-07:002011-05-27T11:15:43.039-07:00This is one of the most profound posts I have read...This is one of the most profound posts I have read recently.

I think that's one of the things I've loved about New England is the extreme amount of nature and I can clearing see all the changes and cause and affect. I often feel so close to the spirit just walking through the forests here.<br /><br />Wow! You are an amazing gardner!

I love all your thoughts on creating and faith. I need to remember more that I AM creating. It is all creation. Creating a home that is pleasant to live in (formerly known as mundane and redundant and annoying cleaning), creating food to enjoy and live off of, and especially creating children who understand who they are and how important their lives are, and who have the skills to create those lives and become who they want to be, and who their creator wants them to be. It's all so important. And totally requires faith. Thanks for all of this, Heidi.LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015651593178985156.post-78423154709904800972011-05-22T21:39:08.360-07:002011-05-22T21:39:08.360-07:00I liked that!
