Gladys Taber
Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone. It is good to listen, not to voices but to the wind blowing, to the brook running cool over polished stones, to bees drowsy with the weight of pollen. If we attend to the music of the earth, we reach serenity. And then, in some unexplained way, we share it with others.
Gladys Taber
Life is a process of discovery, of new perceptions.
Gladys Taber
Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past.
Gladys Taber
Long cold nights mark November's return, grey rains fall, wind walks in the bronze oak leaves.
Gladys Taber
November wind has a sound different from any other. It is easy to imagine the cave of the winds in some mythical Northland where the winds are born and the gods send them out to conquer the quiet air.
Gladys Taber
We need time to dream, time to remember, and time to reach the infinite. Time to be.
Gladys Taber
Father was the most unreconciled taxpayer I ever knew.
