Decision-making becomes a necessary part of a young adult's life eventually. For some, it comes sooner than later. One must decide which occupations and activities must take dominance in life.... one must decide which stands on moral ideals one wishes to take.... one must wish which people to associate oneself with.... one must decide whether being a true and authentic soul is really worth the hard work and ridicule.... one must decide if a lover is to be truly trusted. Decisions.
I sometimes wonder where the femininity in today's woman has gone. Where are the skirts? Where are the flowers? The china tea sets? Where are the porcelain dolls and the flowy dresses and the picnic baskets? Can we recover ladies? If only little girls were allowed to walk around in princess dresses and tiaras all the time. If only our breasts were thought of as works of art, not objects of lust. If only chapel veils were common in Sunday mass.
Gardens are lovely things. I do believe that each woman's heart consists of a unique garden. Mine is only being formed, and cleaned out. I do believe the flowers within the soil there will soon bloom. In the book "The Secret Garden" by Frances Burnnet, the child Mary is just a confused, spoiled, selfish, unruly little child. I'm sure that the majority of our generation has some aspect of Mary buried deep within their heart. It's not until Mary unlocks the secret garden that the healing in her heart begins. If only we would find the key, and open the gate. Let the Gardener tell us which tools to use, and which flowers to plant. What a lovely garden it would be.
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.

Now my darling, go fix yourself a cup of hot tea, pick up a nice novel, go outside, and let your imagination soar with the story line.
"And I will pay you solid gold, my friend, yeah
Would you take me back to London town
When it felt good to be around
And I will pay you solid gold my friend, my friend"
So So-Gary Go
