“Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that set...” — May Sarton Quote

“Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.”

“Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.”

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”

“I've always loved the woods, and I've always loved gardening and a lot of solitude and quiet.”

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”

“I've got really into gardening.”
