Thought for the Weekend



By the time one is eighty, it is said, there is no longer a tug of war in the garden with the May flowers hauling like mad against the claims of the other months.  

All is at last in balance and all is serene.  The gardener is usually dead, of course.  


[Henry Mitchell, The Essential Earthman, 1981]
