B2672. Breathing on Your Own
Breathing on Your Own
By Richard Kehl. 2004. 218pp. 5.5"x9.5". Paper.


Unlike most books of quotations, this is not a collection of familiar oft quoted words, but rather an original and deeply personal assemblage. Some of the unusual categories are:
Ambiguity, Confusion, Detachment, In-Between, The Innocent Eye, Invisibility, Lock and Keys, Mirrors, Naming, The Third Alternative, and Zero. "No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place." --Zen Proverb

Features a rich selection of inspirational quotations from gardeners past and present, as well as from poets, painters, novelists, diarists, and spiritual teachers.

A great gift for gardeners.

B3008. It Takes a Long Time to Become Young
by Richard Kehl. 2008. 56pp. 5"x9.5" Paper. SALE

An invigorating collection of quotations that assert and amplify the idea that, though our bodies age, our hearts and minds can remain young. Like each of Kehl's quote books, this one reflects his wide reading and long collecting rather than the recombination of other people's gleanings so common in other volumes.
"Just remember, once you're over the hill, you begin to pick up speed." --Charles Schultz
