If Your Sister Is In A Tearing

For The Sake Of The Sons - And Even For The Son's Future Wives - A Woman Must Keep A Part Of Her Mind And Heart Entirely For Herself. Every Family Is Better Off With A Wife And Mother Who Can Astonish And Occasionally Dewilder.

The Baby Rises To Its Feet, Takes A Step, Is Overcome With Triumph And Joy - And Falls Flat On Its Face. It Is A Pattern For All That Is To Come! But Learn From The Bewildered Baby. Lurch To Your Feet Again. You'll Make The Sofa In The End.

We Expect Too Much At Christmas. It's Got To Be Magical. It's Got To Go Right. Feasting. Fun. The Perfect Present. All That Anticipation. Take It Easy. Love's The Thing. The Rest Is Tinsel.

The Work Of A Garden Bears Visible Fruits-in A World Where Most Of Our Labours Seem Suspiciously Meaningless.
