The Gardener Rests

Reflections, Day 56

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
― Oscar Wilde,

I smiled as I watched nice people adopt the bonsai gardens.

I mentally said “good-bye” to each of them.

I could keep them and grow them up to a more mature level,

But I need the space.

I need the space to start more pretty plants,

And starting them is a pleasant activity.

So I smiled as I watched them leave for their new homes.

Beginning new gardens is a challenge and an exercise in imagination.

But, first I will rest

Power to the patient.

I lost my vocal cords a while back due to throat cancer. The laryngectomy sent me on a quest to find and learn to use my new, altered voice. I am able to talk now with a really small and neat new prosthesis. My writing reflects what I have learned in my search for a voice. My site johnschulzauthor.com publishes a daily motivational quote and a personal comment. I write an article a week for my blog, johntheplantman.com which deals with a lot of the things that I do in the garden. I am also the author of Requiem for a Redneck and the new Redemption for a Redneck--novels portraying the lives and doings of folks around the north Georgia hills. I have an English Education degree from the University of Georgia and very happily married to the lovely Dekie Hicks. You may enjoy my daily Quotes and Notes at http://johnschulzauthor.com/
