Does anything eat flowers. I couldn't recall having seen anything eat a flower - are they nature's privileged pets?

I work mornings only. I go out to lunch. Afternoons I play with the baby, walk with my husband, or shovel mail.

I know only enough of God to want to worship him, by any means ready to hand.

What I call innocence is the spirit's unself-conscious state at any moment of pure devotion to any object. It is at once a receptiveness and total concentration.

Let the grass die. I let almost all of my indoor plants die from neglect while I was writing the book. There are all kinds of ways to live. You can take your choice. You can keep a tidy house, and when St. Peter asks you what you did with your life, you can say, I kept a tidy house, I made my own cheese balls.

Caring passionately about something isn't against nature, and it isn't against human nature. It's what we're here to do.
