katiegilley's review against another edition
3.0
“I knew, from having watched my father hack down the incredible amount of work he accomplished day by day and year by year, how supportive a routine is, how the spirit moves around freely in it as it does in a plain New England church. Routine is not a prison, but the way into freedom from time. The apparently measured time has immeasureable space within it, and in this it resembles music.“
“(If someone asked me what my idea of luxury is, I think my answer would be: flowers in the house all year round.)"
Plant Dreaming Deep is another May Sarton journal, this one set a little earlier than The Journal of a Solitude, which I read a couple of weeks ago. This details Sarton’s experience buying her home in New Hampshire and how she went about making it her own, especially the gardens. And of course, she talks a lot about how she set up her days to get the most out of them based on the season she was in. I found this journal to be less engaging than the Journal of a Solitude, yet it was still comforting to read.

Wonderful meander through thoughts of solitary life. Oddly resonate with me. I'd recommend it to someone that likes to ponder.
