the miracle of sun and soil

"Often, just beneath the surface of modernity, a fragment of the past emerges, giving perspective to a century and more of romance with the land; and twentieth century pioneers plant a row of corn and sweet peas on the fence so they, as those who came before, can watch the miracle of sun and soil and water breathing life into their labors."

doors

When one door of happiness closes, another opens,

but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not

see the one that has been opened for us.

~Helen Keller
