When they made love Geryon liked to touch in slow succession each of the bones of Herakles' back as it arched away from him into who knows what dark dream of its own, running both hands all the way down from the base of the neck to the end of the spine which he can cause to shiver like a root in the rain.

The wonder is not that there should be obstacles and sufferings in this world, but that there should be law and order, beauty and joy, goodness and love.

No individual life is an end in itself. One can live fully only by participating fully in the succession of the generations, in death as well as in life. Some would say (and I am one of them) that we can live fully only by making ourselves answerable to the claims of eternity as to those of time.
Wendell Berry
Image
Life is but a continual succession of opportunities for surviving.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Thus the great drama of universal life is perpetually sustained and though the individual actors undergo continual change, the same parts are ever filled by another and another generation renewing the face of the earth, and the bosom of the deep, with endless successions of life and happiness.
William Buckland

There is a continuity about the garden and an order of succession in the garden year which is deeply pleasing, and in one sense there are no breaks or divisions - seed time flows on to flowering time and harvest time no sooner is one thing dying than another is coming to life.
