“My nana was always a widow as long as I was alive; my grandfather died before I was born. All the women on my street - there were four houses in a row with all old women who lived alone who were widowed. They all had kids, but they were all widowed. My mom didn't put me in preschool; I didn't know that was a thing. I just hung out with these women all day.” KnowsLongKidsHouseBornFourAliveStreetsMomDiedMy MomGrandfatherHungMy GrandfatherWidowsOld WomanFather DiedPreschoolWidowedGrandfather Died Author:Jen Kirkman
“Across the land a faint blue veil of mist Seems hung; the woods wear yet arrayment sober Till frost shall make them flame; silent and whist The drooping cherry orchards of October Like mournful pennons hang their shriveling leaves Russet and orange: all things now decay; Long since ye garnered in your autumn sheaves, And sad the robins pipe at set of day.” LongSeemsLandAll ThingsBlueSilentWoodsFlamesAutumnDecayHungSoberOrangeVeilsMistPipeOctoberFrostCherriesRobinsOrchard Book:Collected Poems Source: Collected Poems
“The natural world around us shows the way to relief. All of life is maintained by the sun, by the air, by water, by the earth and its resources. And to whom was the sun given? To everyone.

But as the early Christians said, "If the sun were not hung so high, someone would have claimed it long ago."” PeopleIfsWorldWayLongSaidShowsEarthChristianLife IsEnergyGivenWaterNaturalCommonSunOne ThingAirResourcesAlternativesReliefSunlightLong AgoHungNatural World Book:Eberhard Arnold: Writings Selected with an Introduction Source: Eberhard Arnold: Writings Selected with an Introduction

“There are moments when I can wander through my childhood's landscape, through rooms long ago, remember how they were furnished, where the pictures hung on the walls, the way the light fell. It's like a film - little scraps of a film, which I set running and which I can reconstruct to the last detail - except their smell.” WayLittlesLongI CanMomentsLightRunningLastsRememberFilmRoomsChildhoodWallDetailsSmellWanderLandscapeLong AgoHungScrap Book:Film & dreams: an approach to Bergman Source: Film & dreams: an approach to Bergman
