What are poets for in these destitute times?
Heidegger 
Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.
Katherine Mansfield
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found its words.
Frost 
I, the sculptor, am the landscape.
Barbara Hepworth
In life, in order to understand the world, you must die at least once.
Bassanio
There is God. There is no God.
Simone Weil
gorgeous photos. Where were they taken Linda?
Hello Mandy! 1,4,6 are from a rather wet Alnwick Garden, 2 & 5 from Susie’s garden and 3 from Durham Botanic Garden – sun shining through a gunnera leaf…High summer in the North East. Hope all’s well where you are. Love Lx
thanks Linda. Still haven’t been to Alnwick garden or Susie’s – next year maybe. The Durham garden a favourite old stomping ground. Mine is lush and verdant with rain, but needs sun badly. As do we!xxx
