“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”

I am a working woman.
I am one who looks for hope in all things.
"I am a mystic, a naturalist and a transcendentalist in one."
I am a mother.
I am a wife.
I am a gardener, canner, simple life liver.
I am a teacher, a quilter, a pacifist.
I am a liberal, tree hugging, justice loving earth mother.
I am striving for faith.
I am searching for patience.
I am listening for shalom.
