"I have always felt that the surest way to qualify for the job just ahead is to work a little harder than any one else on the job one is holding down."

When I am alone the flowers are really seen; I can pay attention to them.  They are felt as presences.  Without them I would die...they change before my eyes.  They live and die in a few days; they keep me closely in touch with the process, with growth, and also with dying.  I am floated on their moments.
