View to south with
Stanley Coulter Hall on the right.I stumbled across the Interaction Garden on a rainy May First Saturday afternoon, during a walk around part of the Purdue University campus (map1, map2). The garden and selection of quotes on plaques set into concrete walkways struck a chord with me, and I took a couple pictures despite the rainy weather. It was serendipity.
Over the next few months I remembered the place and wished I had taken more pictures. One thing ( Google) led to another, and John Collier graciously provided pictures of the plaques and garden.
I did not know Martha or the other people who created this garden, but I've had similar friends, and I dedicate this web page to all their memories, with similar hopes - May it "provide you an opportunity to reflect on the value of compassion, tolerance, forgiveness, and respect for the people in your life."

Too many of us stay
walled because we
are afraid of being hurt.
We are afraid to
care too much,
for fear that the
other person does
not care at all.

View to southeast across
Centennial Mall towards Wetherill (Richard Benbridge) Laboratory of
Chemistry.
To have been
loved
so deeply,
even though the person
who loved us is gone,
will give us some
protection forever.

Those who dance
are judged insane
by those who can't
hear the music.
George Carlin
Looking west towards
Stanley Coulter Hall.
I
will not follow where
the path may lead,
but I will go where
there is no path,
and I will leave a trail.

| Quote of the moment |
| Chapter 11 : abuse no poor 01 Do not covet a poor man's goods, 02 nor hunger for his bread. 03 A poor man's goods are a block in the throat, 04 it makes the gullet vomit. 05 He who makes gain by lying oaths, 06 his heart is misled by his belly. 07 Where there is fraud, success is feeble, (and) 08 the bad spoils the good. 09 You will be guilty before your superior, 10 and confused in your speech. 11 Your pleas will be answered by a curse, 12 your prostrations by a beating. 13 The big mouthful of bread You swallow, You vomit it, 14 and You are emptied of your gain. 15 Observe the overseer of the poor, 16 when the stick attains him. 17 All his people are bound in chains, 18 and he is led to the executioner. 19 (And) if You are released before your superior, 20 yet You are hateful to your subordinates. 21 Steer away from the poor man on the road. 22 Look at him and keep clear of his goods. |
