“I keep wondering if, say, there is intelligent life on other planets, the scientists argue that something like two percent of the other planets have the conditions, the physical conditions, to support life in the way it happened here, did Christ visit each and every planet, go through the same routine, the Agony in the Garden, the Crucifixion, and so on.” IfsWayTwoChristWonderSupportHappenedConditionsPlanetsPercentGardenScientistIntelligentArguingRoutineAgonyCrucifixionIntelligent Life Book:Flying to America: 45 More Stories Source: Flying to America: 45 More Stories
“Let me define a garden as the meeting of raw nature and the human imagination in which both seek the fulfillment of their beauty. Every sign indicates that nature wants us and wishes for collaboration with us, just as we long for nature to be fulfilled in us. If our original state was to live in a garden, as Adam and Eve did, then a garden signals our absolute origins as well as our condition of eternity, while life outside the garden is time and temporality.” IfsWantHumansWellsLongStatesTimeWishImaginationBeautyConditionsGardenLet MeEternityAbsolutesOriginalsMeetingsFulfillmentCollaborationAdamFulfilledSignalsWant UAdam And EveHuman ImaginationTemporality Author:Thomas Moore

“We can be hindered in our development and our personal growth by political conditions. Outer circumstances can constrain us. Only when we are free to develop our innate abilities can we live as free beings.

“Gertrude Jekyll, like Monet, was a painter with poor eyesight, and their gardens - his at Giverny in the Seine valley, hers in Surrey - had resemblance's that may have sprung from this condition. Both loved plants that foamed and frothed over walls and pergolas, spread in tides beneath trees; both saw flowers in islands of colored light - an image the normal eye captures only by squinting.” LoveMayLightEyePoorVisionSawsSeeingTreeConditionsFlowerWallNormalGardenPlantSpreadPainterIslandsCaptureValleysTidesResemblanceSprungEyesightGertrudeJekyllMonetSquintingSurreyPoor Eyesight Author:Eleanor Perenyi
“All play aspires to the condition of paradise...through play in all its forms...we hope to achieve a state that our larger Greco-Roman, Judeo- Christian culture has always known was lost.
