Under the Squirrel Haven Sun

This exchange from Under the Tuscan Sun (film, not book) resounds with me:

Martini: I think you got your wish. 

Frances: My wish? 

Martini: On that day we looked for your snake, you said to me that you wanted there to be a wedding here. And then you said you wanted there to be a family here. 

Frances: You're right... I got my wish. I got everything I asked for. 

Like Frances, I got my wish.  I got everything I asked for.  Like Frances, it didn't come in ways or forms i could have expected.  It never does.  

We can prepare the soil, but grace blossoms in its own way, at its own time - when it blooms at all
