winter thinking important
Our lives are so important to us that we tend to think the story of them begins with our birth. First there was nothing, then I was born...Yet that is not so.

Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole. - Vida Winter Diane Setterfield

When you build a building, you finish a building. You don't finish a garden; you start it, and then it carries on with its life.

garden voice glasses
She finds tales everywhere, in grains of sand she picks up from the garden, in puffs of smoke that drift out from the chimneys of the village, in fragments of smooth timber or glass in the jetsam.

And they will answer her in voices very like her own, but with new lilts and squeaks and splashes in them that show they are their own. David Almond
