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.

Wow! When I started reading I had no idea they were Gladys' words. She just gets it, doesn't she. Is anyone alone and quiet anymore? I wonder.
Quiet is hard to find even in the library I work in...and people seem to be afraid of being alone. I have always needed my alone time to refuel. I am forever grateful to you for introducing me to her work. I love her voice and how she views life with such interest and affection.
