Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past.

There is a kind of immortality in every garden.

I cannot imagine a cat in an Obedience ring, running around in the hot sun and doing things on command. For it would not make sense. Whereas a dog is tolerant of your not making sense and only wants to fix things so you are happy.

Americans tend to believe they can do anything with or without any training or experience.

After all, catching something is purely a by-product of our fishing. It is the act of fishing that wipes away all grief, lightens all worry, dissolves fear and anxiety.

Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past. Today's Christmas should mean creating happy hours for tomorrow and reliving those of yesterday.

the tentacles of today reach out like an octopus to swallow yesterday.
