" Where there are flowers, there is hope."--Lady Bird Johnson
LBJ, you were an amazing woman. In these days where narcissism is practically its own religion, I admire your dedication to others. I admire the way you took your wedding vows and memorized them and meditated on them, on the meaning of committing your life to a relationship with another human being. And boy, was he human. You were the quintessential steel magnolia. You were a wild flower and you were the wind in the Texas pines.
LBJ, I just want to thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for putting environmentalism on the center stage. Thank you for helping people overcome poverty and for your brave work in the civil rights movement. Thank you for the millions of flowers planted because of your efforts.
