Always keep mint on your windowsill in august, to ensure that buzzing flies will stay outside, where they belong. don't think the summer is over, even when roses droop and turn brown and the stars shift position in the sky. never presume august is a safe or reliable time of the year.

Always Keep Mint On Your Windowsill In

Always keep mint on your windowsill in august, to ensure that buzzing flies will stay outside, where they belong. don't think the summer is over, even when roses droop and turn brown and the stars shift position in the sky. never presume august is a safe or reliable time of the year.

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

The yard was full of tomato plants about to ripen, and mint, mint, everything smelling of mint, and one fine old tree that i loved to sit under on those cool perfect starry california october nights unmatched anywhere in the world.
Night California Perfect
We look up and we hope the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. we look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. it's true that if you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a meteor fall, flame and die. that's not a star worth following; it's just an unlucky rock. our fates are here on earth. there are no guiding stars.
