Life is a garden, by Suzette Richards – image generated 26 April 2023

‘Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate. Wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice.’ ~Kurt Vonnegut

 

birth and death bookend our lives how we spent intervening years at our disposal might be shaped along the way by our experiences what importance we place on each incident thoughts we encountered through each word are united with our fellow travellers or repelled cultivating a garden of weeds or flowers life is a garden

Yes, Suzette, what we do in-between the ends is the stuff life is made of whether good or evil. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
