Clock and the Garden

by Mayo, Russell
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781649796714

Why are some people organized, meticulous, and rigid in their everyday lives? While other people focus on the beauty in everything, including plants, animals, gardens, and a field of wildflowers. These personalities usually collide. This story is about a conversation between two such personalities-a structured grandfather clock and a free-spirited flower garden. Through their conversation, they discover the value of both order and spontaneity-reason and emotion. Ultimately, the story conveys that "we should use our heads to guide us but never forget to follow our hearts."
