grass roots gardening: rituals for sustaining activism

These are some of the quotes I loved in this little book of essays: "Learning to see change is important for both activists and gardeners: otherwise we think nothing is happening when all the while the painted buntings are preparing for their return.""Gardening is a full enough experience to show us our own limitations. It is a light thrown on what is both full and what we can't do." "Enjoy the permanence of the impermanent nature of gardening."
