Nature doesn’t have to come as second nature. Experience is what makes the gardener. The trials, the errors, the joys, the agonies: You’re a gardener when you’ve had your share of it all. -- Catie Marron in The Washington Post

comments left on the video for Iceblink Luck by Cocteau Twins 

“I read the poem of a student and in the poem God wandered through a room picking up random objects – a pear, a vase, a shoe – and in bewilderment said, ‘I made this?’. Apparently God had forgotten making anything at all. I awarded this poem a prize, because I was a judge of such matters. I was not really awarding the student, I was awarding God; I knew someday the student would pick up his old poem and say in bewilderment, ‘I made this?’, and at that moment his whole world would be lost in the twilight, and when you are finally lost in the twilight you can not judge anything.”
