FROM BARBARA AND JOE:

codi: so you think we all just have animal dreams. we can't think of anything to dream except our ordinary lives.

loyd: only if you have an ordinary life. if you want sweet dreams you've got to live a sweet life. -barbara kingsolver, animal dreams

dream a little. imagine, even—it's good for you.


there is an emptiness on a page, a vacuum represented and magnified by the whiteness of the space.....and i begin to mess it up, get it dirty, to bring it into contact with the world in which it exists, to pollute it with laughter, injustice, loss, ambiguity, laundry, and any other thing that goes into the human experience of life. -evie shockley

the clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness. -john muir

trees

i am the heat of your hearth,

shade screening you from the sun,

i am the beam that holds your house,

the board of your table;

i am the handle of your hoe,

the door of your homestead,

the wood of your cradle,

and the shell of your coffin.

i am the gift of god

and the friend of man.

this grand show is eternal. it is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. -john muir
