“Anytime that is ‘betwixt and between’ or transitional is the faeries’ favorite time. They inhabit transitional spaces: the bottom of the garden, existing in a space between manmade cultivation and wilderness. Look for them in the space between nurture and nature, they are to be found at all boarders and boundaries, or on the edges of water where it is neither land nor lake, neither path nor pond. They come when we are half-asleep. They come at moments when we least expect them; when our rational mind balances with the fluid irrational.” MindLooksMomentsFoundWaterSpaceHalfPathLandBalanceGardenBottomEdgesBoundariesRationalLakesWildernessIrrationalNurtureFluidFaeriePondsCultivationSpace Between Author:Brian Froud

“Speaking the words he had been taught, directing them no longer upward but to the earth on which he knelt, he prayed: 'For what we are about to receive make us truly thankful.' ... he... felt his heart suddenly flow over with thankfulness... like a gush of warm water... All that remains is to live here quietly for the rest of my life, eating food that my own labour has made the earth to yield. All that remains is to be a tender of the soil.” HeartMadeEarthFeltWaterMy OwnTaughtEatingGardenFlowRemainsWarmSoilLabourYieldGardeningThankfulnessEating FoodAll That Remains Author:J. M. Coetzee
