Once the seeds arrived, I ripped open the box. It was amazing. These were about fifty packets of maybe twenty kinds of seeds for flowers and vegetables. I was so fascinated I almost kept them for myself, but didn’t, because I really wanted the telescope.
I packed the seeds back into the box, and started traveling around the neighborhood, trying to get people to shell out some money for a few packets. I managed to sell about half of them (maybe), after many hours of walking and knocking on doors.
I was getting discouraged, and almost gave up. But I continued the next day. Unfortunately, the market for seeds apparently dried up overnight, and I didn’t sell a single packet that day.
Hallo Anthony, thank you for your friendship! Your music is great! If you..re interested in a whatever collaboration please contact me! Please visit my HP: www. cultevents. de and sign the guestbook if you like!
Music has always been a place where anything is possible - a refuge, a magical world where anyone can go, all kinds of people can come together, and anything can happen. We are limited only by our imagination. I believe that what we do and learn inside the world of music can affect what goes on in the world in a big, positive way. music is so important - like food and water. There are so many possibilities, and many doors yet to be opened. (Bill Frisell)
