Could A Vase of Roses…
“Only that day dawns to which we are awake.”— Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Few authors have inspired me more than Thoreau. I find inspiration and wisdom every single time I reread his observations and thoughts. My personal Walden surrounds me at Genius Loci, its beauty never failing to inspire thoughts of the beauty of utter simplicity. Could a vase of roses be anymore stunning than a vase of these weeds? If we have eyes and heart…and humility to see…we cannot help but marvel at the beauty of exquisite and utter simplicity!

Beautifully stated, my friend! Cannot WAIT to see you in October! We leave for Amalfi on Friday…then on to Bovino. I wish it were closer to you so we could visit.
My dear Michelle,
Have an unforgettable trip. I’ll “follow” you in thought and good wishes. Shall we spend a few hours in October looking for gorgeous weeds…along with a few other more “noble” , more delicious activities? Good luck with your search in Puglia! Love to you and Dan,
