"Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain."

    i don’t know why elizabeth, but the pictures in your posts and what you choose to say have an amazing relativity for what’s in my life sometimes. chrissey died last night.(my brother’s wife..from cancer).
    much suffering much courage much saddness now.
    your little flower still blooming gallantly across the hard grey concrete somehow spoke to me of life itself. and then the quote from thoreau… one of my favorite people.
    just want to say thanks. you are always appreciated. looking forward to atlas wednesday! he never ceases to make me smile…
    or even to laugh right out loud.

    @tammy: oh, my dear. that sounds so full of hard and sad. sending love and comfort your way. (i wish i could say that atlas wednesday will make you laugh, but it is more sweet than funny this week.)

  3. Oh, Elizabeth. Thoreau would love you.
