Journeys with Eileen Diane

To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it. It was that day when the end of summer intersects perfectly with the start of fall ~ Ann Patchett

Here is the ghost of summer that lived for us. Here is a promise of summer to be ~ William E. Henley

Summer’s lease hath all too short a date ~ William Shakespeare

 One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter ~  Henry David Thoreau

When summer gathers up her robes of glory, And, like a dream, glides away ~ Sarah Helen Whitman

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour ~ William Blake

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not ~ Georgia O’Keeffe

Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things towards you ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

The flower in the vase smiles, but no longer laughs ~ Malcolm de Chazal

It gives you a good feeling. Each year, you rediscover in a garden the magic of life. A flower arrives, and it is a miracle. The leaves fall in the autumn, and it looks fantastic. There is a tenderness about a garden, and you can’t help but be sensitive to that ~ Hubert de Givenchy
