My Work Is A Metaphor For My Life.

I am a spiritual 'seeker.'  
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.

With deep affection and gratitude, I thank my Guru, Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati and my Teacher, Swami Jaya Devi Bhagavati for their loving support.
