Quote by Jessica Shattuck

“For so long Marianne and Albrecht and many of their friends had known Hitler was a lunatic, a leader whose lowbrow appeal to people‘s most selfish, self-pitying emotions and ignorance was an embarrassment for their country. They had watched him make a masterwork of scapegoating Jews for Germany’s fall from power and persuade his followers that enlightenment, humanity, and tolerance were weaknesses — “Jewish” ideas that led to defeat. They had wrung their hands over his dangerous conflations, his fervor, and his lack of humanity.”

“Offshore winds had been too strong to be doing the surf much good, but surfers found themselves getting up early anyway to watch the dawn weirdness, which seemed like a visible counterpart to the feeling in everybody’s skin of desert winds and heat and relentlessness, with the exhaust from millions of motor vehicles mixing with microfine Mojave sand to refract the light toward the bloody end of the spectrum, everything dim, lurid and biblical, sailor-take-warning skies. The state liquor stamps over the tops of tequila bottles in the stores were coming unstuck, is how dry the air was. Liquor-store owners could be filling those bottles with anything anymore.”

“The earth sometimes rewards humans who do good works for the planet. Look out for unexpected windfalls of produce from the earth such as baskets of fruit or vegetables given to you unexpectedly, nature handcrafts, or a bunch of flowers picked from a beloved garden. These are all signs that the gifts not only came from the giver but from Mother Earth herself. - Fairy of the woods”

“I asked the trees; what did you think about the drier seasons we have been getting lately and now this really beautiful wet one? “We don’t think in terms of wet and dry, we take what we get when we get it, we enjoy it all and respond accordingly, if we get less rain we draw in less moisture and put on less growth and stop the growth earlier in the year. We adapt, like a boat, flowing along with the flow of the stream, we don’t go against the stream by resisting what is. What is is, and as such it is beautiful, the whole of life is beautiful and we make the most of what we get when we get it. We don’t waste time on thinking about what might have been. All that we get, is what we want. Why would we desire what we didn’t get, that is wasted energy?”

“Does it improve the atmosphere of the garden, the more flowers there are in a garden? “Yes of course, we all have flowers for the contribution they make to the overall peace and happiness and harmony of an area. The more flowers there are the more peaceful, happy and harmonious the garden is. Who could stay grumpy or sad in a garden full of flowers? If the flowers are brought indoors in huge bunches, then the atmosphere inside the home is improved greatly with more harmonious relations between people, and peaceful and happy feelings encouraged.” Then I asked the freesias, what are the roles of flower scent to humans in the garden? “Fragrances lift the vibrational frequencies of an area, garden or room. If the fragrance is of a natural origin, preferably floral, then there are certain blessings attached to smelling it. It heightens the thoughts of humans in the vicinity and helps soothe bad moods or argumentative residents. Fragrance is also a bridge between the human and angelic worlds and helps communication between species. Do not underestimate the power of fragrance; it can change the mood and situations in whole regions. All the while, the residents remain oblivious, to the fragrance’s pivotal importance, in the natural world. Without fragrance, the world would be a poorer place.” “Fragrance helps lighten one’s mood, and countenance and help lift depression and lethargy. Fragrance plays a big role in why people are more energetic in spring, once all the flowers in blossom come out en-masse.”

“Broccoli plants, I read somewhere that it is better for people to eat what is grown in their area from their particular climate and soils for maximum health benefits. Do you know anything about this? “Yes, we know that humans eating locally, say within ten or twenty or a hundred kilometres away, produced from within that area has put up with the same climatic effects that you are likely to experience too and has grown strong in such a climate. Eating this gives those properties, such as making you strong in that particular climate. Do you see?” Yes, I think so, thank you. The broccoli went on: “Like eating something that gives you a built-in resistance to the negative effects of such a climate, such as lots of wind or very hot temperatures. You then inherit this built-in resistance, by consuming a food plant that experiences the climate which you live with in your region.”

“I can feel spring in the air; an excited anticipation that things are building up, ready to bloom and grow. I asked a rose bush whether they find they put on better flower displays one year compared to another? “All years are good years for us, we cannot compare our flower displays as we only really live in the moment, the display we have is the best so far as we are concerned. Whatever is happening now, is always the best for us. We neither look forwards, nor backwards like you humans seem to do. Every flower display is Divine and beautiful, how can we compare it, it is like comparing children?” Do plants enjoy spring more than any other season? “There is a certain joy when all the plants are flowering at the same time, it is like a mass celebration, but we do not have any favourite season they are all Divine for us. Spring is fun however for its unique qualities.”
