“And all the times I was picking up potatoes, I did have conversations with them. Too, I did have thinks of all their growing days there in the ground, and all the things they did hear. Earth-voices are glad voices, and earth-songs come up from the ground through the plants; and in their flowering, and in the days before these days are come, they do tell the earth-songs to the wind ... I have thinks these potatoes growing here did have knowings of star-songs.” ThinkingEarthSpiritReligionSongSpiritualityStarsVoiceKnowingGrowingWindConversationPlantCome UpGladThese DaysGardeningPotatoesFlowering Author:Opal Whiteley
