" A Man Named Pearl"

There's always gonna be obstacles, the thing is, you don't have to let those obstacles determine where you should go."   ~ Pearl Fryar


Pearl Fryar is a self taught Topiary Artist of Bishopville, Sc who turned his garden into a work of Art and today it is visited by people all over the world.  

I saw a documentary on his story last year and I was blown away, impressed and inspired by this gifted extraordinary man.  If this is the first that you have heard of him, please visit... www.amannamedpearl.com

Success is so close!

Success is so close!

Maybe you feel stuck sometimes;

everyone does.

 Maybe you wish your dreams 
would just hurry up and get here already; Who doesn't ?

But they're not just on their way;  they're

almost here!  So don't give up now.
All your hard work and hope is about to pay off ....

 and no one is more worthy of a dream-come- true than you!

Your Presence

 

  

Originally uploaded by Rana Pipiens

I saw  you in the Morning while the day was being born...

I heard you in the tree tops where the Turtle Doves do mourn..

I saw you in the flowers, way out on yonders hill..

I heard your voice a singing from the valleys to the rill...

I saw where you've been walking in the garden neath the vine, down by the Morning glories where the air is fresh and fine...

I saw you in the meadow besides the rippling pool..

In the pathways of the forest neath the Pine Trees tall and cool ...

I felt you in the wind sweeping gently cross my face...

I saw you in the mountains in an ever changing place..

I felt your loving presence at the close of the day...

I met you in the moonlight as I knelt there to pray.

My mind is a garden...

My thoughts are the seeds...

My harvest will be either flower or weeds"
