A descriptive essay by a woman who loves her place in life. Full of hearth and home, pets, berry jam, resident turtles, and beloved grandchildren.

  I will pray for all who suffer and will include in this prayer, that all of the peoples on this earth will be able to have a place of their very own. For them to delight in their gardens, to have fruit trees, pets or livestock. I will pray that their children and grand children will be well and that they may also inherit the right to ownership of beloved land. Here at Pandora, I will never take… not even one blade of grass for granted. With her “box” removed, only Pandora remains. And what is found here is as peaceful as the gentle sounds of a dove softly cooing at sunrise.

    Beautiful piece and such vivid descriptions.

  • Phantom Beauty on Nov 11, 2009

    I first wanted to read this bc i thought, hmm, this sounds like someone who enjoys their life, and i want to see if i enjoy mine or not. And your life is very nice, but i still like mine, except i could use a place like Pandora, except the animals would probably bother me, and id be too tired to make jam, although i did make cherry jam before fresh off the tree and it was fun though it took a long time.

    Im glad you have such a good life, and it wasnt annoying to read, which is rare.

    Beautifully written and every line was full of expression. Made me want to visit Pandora and experience all the wonders of nature. Thanks for sharing a very descriptive essay. Very well done.

    By the way I made your corn chowder for supper – yummy!

    Dear Jane,
    Thank you so much for coming to read, it’s so appreciated by me!
    I was so happy to hear you made the corn chowder. I have a recipe for homemade chicken rice soup I believe you’ll love and will post it in a couple of days. I’ve been working on 2 articles the past two days and when I try to get them on Triond they are wiped off my word pad files and are not on Triond so all this is really slowing me down.

    ladydryle,
    thank you so much for coming by to read. we all have to find our special place in life we can call our own-in spite of the times we now live in, I can take great comfort in having my little place in this world. God bless, keep well!

    It should have been a goal for our society to pay others for their labor well enough that they too could (over time) enjoy the special comfort that comes with having a place where one’s own creativity comes to rest. I find your description uniquely American.
