Barbara Kingsolver Quotes
And Somehow Hallie Thrived Anyway--the Blossom Of Our Family, Like One Of Those Miraculous Fruit Trees That Taps Into An Invisible Vein Of Nurture And Bears Radiant Bushels Of Plums While The Trees Around It Merely Go On Living. In Grace, In The Old Days, When People Found One Of Those In Their Orchard They Called It The Semilla Besada--the Seed That Got Kissed. Sometimes You'd Run Across One That People Had Come To, And Returned To, In Hopes Of A Blessing. The Branches Would Be Festooned Like A Christmas Tree Of Family Tokens: A Baby Sock, A Pair Of Broken Reading Glasses, The Window Envelope Of A Pension Check.
