“Plato in the peonies, Socrates force-growing his own hemlock. A man toting a sack of blood manure across his lawn is kin to Atlas letting the world spin easy on his shoulder.” Ray Bradbury

Thanks Lois, I left out the part that might help you make sense of it: “Gardening is the handiest excuse for being a philosopher. Nobody guesses, nobody accuses, nobody knows, but there you are.” Happy Saturday to you too and have a great weekend!

The quote is a little bit too bloody for me – but the flower is beautiful, and also the blue ones of Lancaster.

Thanks, the quote was written by a science fiction writer so he probably has a very vivid imagination.

My writing is more in the style of Charles Bukowski. Self deprecating complaining about life and my imaginary world.
