: I thought I'd share this wonderful poem that strikes me as perfect four material -- something to remind ourselves, I guess.
: It's from a book called "Mostly True Collected Stories & Drawings" by Brian Andreas. The book was a gift from a friend who happens to be a four herself, for what it's worth.
: Here's the poem:
: "I once had a garden
: filled with flowers
: that grew only on dark
: thoughts
: but they need constant
: attention
: & one day I decided
: I had better things
: to do."
I love it, Teresa. It's what I am finally doing, after swimming in the dark thoughts...an you know...it is SO MUCH better not to "stay there..."
Thanks....
Jess
