In life, each person cantake one of two attitudes: to build or to plant. The builders mighttake years over their tasks, but one day, they finish what they’redoing. Then they find they’re hemmed in by their own walls. Lifeloses its meaning when the building stops. Then there are those who plant. They endure storms and allthe many vicissitudes of the seasons, and they rarely rest. But, unlike a building, a garden never stops growing. And while it requiresthe gardener’s constant attention, it also allows life for thegardener to be a great adventure. Gardeners always recognize one another, because they knowthat in the history of each plant lies the growth of the whole World. Paulo Coelho
