Just spent a delightful hour reading your past posts. Must come back more often. Oh to have more time for blogging and inspiring places like this.<br /><br />Do you know I have been meaning to go to Jane Austen's cottage at Chawton for such a long time. Some husbands are most certainly renowned for their patience as garden and stately home itineries gather pace. The gardens of Kent are our destination later in the month - he never complains and secretly enjoys them ... I hope.<br /><br />I hear your philosophy and will carry it with me today.<br /><br />JeanneReading Tea Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928999793157507134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056794334945166887.post-9146508686684112452012-04-03T11:11:07.972-04:002012-04-03T11:11:07.972-04:00Oh, how fortunate you are to have sat with dear Ep...Oh, how fortunate you are to have sat with dear Epicurus in his garden of pleasure! A long sit in a beautiful garden with untamed and straining flowers does the soul good. <br /><br />This so reminds me of my friend Sheila. I think she and Epi were tight. He has it right, your friend: Peace can only truly be found in the absence of fear (whatever our fears may be). Wouldn't I like to find that perfect mental state of peace and tranquility, but I'm afraid I fear too much. I stress too much. I am told to meditate, and I try, but often the fears interrupt my attempt at peace. Argh!<br /><br />I wonder if I had only a garden of which to tend, and nothing more, no responsibilities, if I might attain this level of consciousness? Na. Probably not--I'd find something to worry about. The weeds!<br /><br />Loved the piece--it has set the tone for my day, and I'm going to try very hard to maintain it. (I'll keep my pruner with me) ;)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056794334945166887.post-12170426348552470002012-04-03T11:00:20.302-04:002012-04-03T11:00:20.302-04:00Beautiful piece of writing...
