I am talking about The Wild Braid again. I wear my long hair in braids now partly because a friend, Mary Fassett a painter and writer, mentioned it to me, a suggestioin merely, which I took to pretty immediately. It is so convenient to keep it that way, so hair does not get in my face. She suggested she wanted to take a photo of it as it made my hair look redder for some reason.
Anyhow it got me thinking about The Wild Braid again. One of those books which can be a companion for life. Like Soul Food. In it Stanley Kunitz converses with Genine Lentine about his garden and many metaphors to living. Photographs of him in his garden by the sea are peppered all over the book and I love it. Very very inspirational. Not only to gardeners but to all who are just trying to live to the best of their capacity and more.
