A Life in the Country ~ Wildly Enthusiastic About Little Things…
Colette O'Neill
…Like making a new Willow Archway…
Some things can only be understood when you’re in a tree house. With a pile of
warm chocolate chip cookies. And a book. ~Dr. SunWolf
…or the sun shining like crazy across the frozen snow on Chritmas Eve…
I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as
child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to
exaggerate and and embellish. I still listen to instinctual urges. I
play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never
water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy
that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work. ~Leo F.
Buscaglia, Bus 9 to Paradise
…or deciding to paint silver stars all over a wall in the cottage…
Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of
the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on
the disciplined adult intelligence. ~
…stepping over wet rocks on a sandy beach on an early summer day…
In my soul, I am still that small child who did not care about anything else but the beautiful colors of a rainbow. ~Papiha Ghosh
…the delight of seeing water drops sparkle like jewels in the early morning sun…
O men, grown sick with toil and care, Leave for awhile the crowded mart; O women, sinking with despair, Weary of limb and faint of heart, Forget your
years to-day and come
As children back to childhood’s house.
