"This evening, just when I was in the middle of a story Aunt Elizabeth said she wanted me to weed the onion-bed. So I had to lay down my pen and go out to the kitchen garden. But one can weed onions and think wonderful things at the same time, glory be. It is one of the blessings that we don't always have to put our souls into what our hands may be doing, praise the gods--for otherwise who would have any soul left? So I weeded the onion-bed and roamed the Milky Way in imagination."

~ L. M. Montgomery – Emily’s Quest.

Oh, the wisdom of Emily.

I don’t plan to become a quotation blog – though it might happen –, but this must have been submitted since I can relate to it so hard. Sitting in an office is pretty much like onion weeding, most of the time, I reckon.

God, Emily, how lucky you were, not to be born into a world of multis and skyscrapers…! I envy you big time, gurl.
