They meet her clients, visit new places and get a better understanding of what mom does when she isn't at home with them.

• The pressure to perform is relentless in today's workplace - regardless of where you work. We are all being asked to do more with less.

• Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life. Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe; breathe out and bring the cosmos back inside. Next, breathe up all the fecundity and vibrancy of the earth. Finally, blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth with your own, becoming the Breath of Life itself.

• The first western gardens were those in the Mediterranean basin. There in the desert areas stretching from North Africa to the valleys of the Euphrates, the so-called cradle of civilization, where plants were first grown for crops by settled communities, garden enclosures were also constructed. Gardens emphasized the contrast between two separate worlds: the outer one where nature remained awe-inspiringly in control and an inner artificially created sanctuary, a refuge for man and plants from the burning desert, where shade trees and cool canals refreshed the spirit and ensured growth.

• The vineyard country, russet, reddish, carmine-brown in this season.
  A blue outline of hills above a fertile valley.
  It's warm as long as the sun does not set, in the shade cold returns.
  A strong sauna and then swimming in a pool surrounded by trees.
  Dark redwoods, transparent pale-leved birches.
  In their delicate network, a sliver of the moon.
  I describe this for I have learned to doubt philosophy
  And the visible world is all that remains.

  Czeslaw Milosz

• I see the regions of snow and ice, I see the sharp-eyed Samoiede and the Finn, I see the seal-seeker in his boat poising his lance, I see the Siberian on his slight-built sledge drawn by dogs, I see the porpoise-hunters, I see the whale-crews of the south Pacific and the north Atlantic, I see the cliffs, glaciers, torrents, valleys of Switzerland - I mark the long winters and the isolation.

  James Joyce
