I love this quotation from Rosemary Gladstar from the film and thought a little summertime beauty might be nice now in deep winter:
With people who are severely ill, deeply ill, I think you have to seduce them back to wellness. And you do that by making life appealing again. You make good tasting teas, you put beautiful flowers in their room: they can be medicinal plants in that bouquet, plants that have that healing energy. You plant gardens, you paint the rooms beautiful colors. You make life beautiful so that people want to live. Beauty is what brings us back to wellness, what makes us want to be healthy and vital.
