“But in summer, welcoming summer, the rocks are soft-fledged with moss. The forest floor is bouncy with fresh shoots and enthusiastic blooms; the twisted angles of the branches are laced by bud and leaf.”
Tara O'Brady

“One of my favourite things about dining outdoors in a warmer season is that it frees hands and bares skin. ... When we don't need to wear or carry heavy clothing, our bodies feel lighter and our hands are freed for other things. Like carrying bottles of ros茅; bags of stone fruit, fish, and clams; and a simple kettle and a tiny grill for a quiet, all-day beach excursion. Then we can eat well.”
Kirstin Jackson

Alexander Pushkin
“Perhaps you'd like, you gentle fellow,
To hear what I'm prepared to say
On "kinfolk" and their implications?
Well, here's my view of close relations:
They're people whom we're bound to prize,
To honor, love, and idolize,
And following the old tradition,
To visit come the Christmas feast,
Or send a wish by mail at least;
All other days they've our permission,
To quite forget us if they please-
So grant them, God, long life and ease!”
Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Generosity is a giving that comes from the knowledge of an intimate bond. True generosity is acting on the truth鈥攏ot on the feeling鈥攖hat those I am asked to forgive are 鈥渒infolk,鈥� and belong to my family. And whenever I act this way, that truth will become more visible to me. Generosity creates the family it believes in.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming
