I am a student with a simple goal: to be the best that I can be. With that goal in mind, happiness has to be part of the journey. It is something that I must consciously practice. I am not always good at it, but I keep working on it.
My cathedral: Mother Nature.
Her grounds are where I have always gone to clear my mind, and heart. She has let me till & bury pain, cultivate + celebrate with joy, always giving me more than I give Her.
She has always held me, as a loving, patient Mother, letting me grow.
Garden with deep gratitude and reverence.
Unplug to hear the stillness.
This moment, a cardinal & mockingbird are competing for air-time from the trees in our backyard.
For many years, now, I have made a my living as a Gardener. It is what I do in my free time, also. I LOVE it !!!
Typically, I work alone, which is not for everybody. It gives me much needed quiet time. . .
It is my PUJA.
It is my time of devotion.
So. . . I can grow.
Namaste Bhadra Kali. This is a sweet way to share your thoughts. Thank you so much for this and for your wonderful gardening seva. That is a cute picture of you and Gita by the potato patch!
