...my garden of delight!



Although they are coming to the end of their bloom (at bit like myself!!)...I thought I'd post a photo of my flowers ... bought at the city hall market at Christmas...gorgeous colours...huh!?

I had a delightful birthday yesterday and spent the evening with lovely people and lovely food!!

Another quote which means a lot....

Real friendship or love is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention. Friendship is always an act of recognition.
...in the moment of friendship, two souls suddenly recognize each other. It could be a meeting on the street, or at a party or a lecture, or just a simple, banal introduction, then suddenly there is the flash of recognition and the embers of kinship grow. There is an awakening between you, a sense of ancient knowing.

Happy belated Birthday, love the flowers...:)

Anam Cara is so full of wonderful quotes and insights to savour I raced at it at the start and then slowed right down...
keep thinking I should pick it up again and read and digest more slowly this time.
