More From Jennifer Granholm

If writing novels is like planting a forest, then writing short stories is more like planting a garden. the two processes complement each other, creating a complete landscape that i treasure. the green foliage of the trees casts a pleasant shade over the earth, and the wind rustles the leaves, which are sometimes dyed a brilliant gold. meanwhile, in the garden, buds appear on the flowers, and colorful petals attract bees and butterflies, reminding us of the subtle transition from one season to the next.
Flower Butterfly Writing
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.
Hurt Morning Wall
In the assemblies of the enlightened ones there have been many cases of mastering the way bringing forth the heart of plants and trees; this is what awakening the mind for enlightenment is like. the fifth patriarch of zen was once a pine-planting wayfarer; rinzai worked on planting cedars and pines on mount obaku. . . . working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.
Wall Heart Practice
Any fool can destroy trees. they cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed,-chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got out of their bark hides, branching horns, or magnificent bole backbones. few that fell trees plant them; nor would planting avail much towards getting back anything like the noble primeval forests. during a man's life only saplings can be grown, in the place of the old trees-tens of centuries old-that have been destroyed.
Life Running Fun
Friends now fast sworn, whose double bosoms seems to wear one heart, whose hours, whose bed, whose meal and exercise are still together, who twin, as 'twere, in love, unseparable, shall within this hour, on a dissension of a doit, break out to bitterest enmity; so fellest foes, whose passions and whose plots have broke their sleep to take the one the other, by some chance, some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends and interjoin their issues.
Passion Heart Sleep
We haven't been leading anybody. we've been acquiescing to a bunch of linguini-spined leftists all over the world, at the united nations, in nato, wherever it is. the people who don't even pay for their own defense. the people that don't even believe in guns and bullets to protect yourself are the people we have been acquiescing to. and they think this is called leadership. leadership is sponsoring america's decline. leadership is administering america's decline. leadership is admitting that america's superpower status was never deserved or warranted.
