It has been said:
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Lao-tzu 604 BC-531 BC
So in that light, my first step is
to introduce you to JOURNEY my little Maruman friend,
born from and centered around the quote:
"I go to Nature to be soothed
and have my senses put in tune once again."
-John Burroughs
Journey's theme or central focus will be zen-botanical...
keeping her open to historical, realistic or
imaginary floral/botanical journeys of the artistic spirit.
I hope you will each enjoy this new adventure of ours
and have your spirits renewed
as we journey together 17,566 miles across the seas
and
into our imaginations.
