I Promised You Daisies

clipped by: robertabenjamin
clippers remarks: For those of us who came of age during the time of Woodstock and hippies and Hootenannies and Annie Greensprings and Vietnam, choosing the path you were going to follow into adult life was not as easy as it might have been just a few innocent years earlier.




I Promised You Daisies is the second volume of my trilogy Imperfectly Ordinary . As a sequel to my earlier work,  A Gift of Dreams it is the story of my attempts to make sense of life during the disrupted decade that followed hard on the heels of my boyhood in a contentedly traditional New England village. In telling that story I recount  meeting studious, serious minded Karen Sandstrom, our discovery that we shared just about every opinion in life that mattered, and our decision to commit ourselves to a lifetime partnership, to a student marriage  when we still had years of study ahead, on the conviction that each of us was different and that mutual support would enable us to accomplish more that would be good in the world than we might have managed on our own.
