“The spell was broken. My uncle learned to laugh, and I learned to cry. The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” – The Secret Garden

“Where the water whispers mid the shadowy rowan – trees
I have heard the Hidden People like the hum of swarming bees:
And when the moon has risen and the brown burn glisters grey
I have seen the Green Host marching in laughing disarray”

Monday

I’ve been out sick with an upper respiratory infection for about a week, which is why I have been away from this blog so long.

I’m still in the process of recovering and the rusty, creaking gears in my body and brain are slowly beginning to function again.

I’m sorry if it seems like I dropped off the face of the earth these past few days . . .

Here is a wonderful animation by a young animator, Carmen Bromfield Mason.
