Gardening Quote by Mariko Tatsumoto
““It represented how Mother had lived: reach for the heavens, be firm, be unique, and don’t be swayed by other people’s ideas. Everything in nature has its own splendor. A flower doesn’t care if it’s not as tall as a tree. Bees ignore birds. Thunder doesn’t compete against a volcano. She must be like that.””
