Even toads like a cool abode. Just hanging out in the quiet cool moments of the early morning.
Where are you going?

Resting is underrated in our culture, sadly. A lot has been written about the benefits though, so, I’m going to walk on over to that bench and rest in the garden today. I’m going to inhale the scent of the fringe tree, watch the birds in the feeder and let go of the to-do list.

Surround yourself with color, your favorite ones, the delicate and the vibrant loud ones. Drench yourself in the beauty of this world…..it will change your life! Lift you up, or calm your heart. Indulge yourself!

Weeds among the flowers, tis ever thus, as my mother would say. Weeds are simply plants where we don’t want them, they’re not inherently bad. Gardening is a spiritual practice, especially as it informs my daily life.

Can there possibly be anything more breathtaking than a fresh new flower? Tree Peony here. The color, the delicacy, the scent. We are so lucky to see this beauty and possibility laid out before us each day. Gratitude.

Always, always, what we have been thinking is what we become. Just as the water reflects the world around it, our life reflects our dominant thoughts. Sometimes there is a surprise, a gem, a brightness in the mundanity. That’s the jewel of your heart.
Welcome

Welcoming is an act of love and grace. Welcoming a friend is easy, welcoming difficulty and pain takes patience. Today, I was welcomed home from my morning walk by these beauties: they are present, steadfast and patient, not caring who I am today. I will remember their unconditional love today.
Returning

Returning to life, just as this coral quince returns each spring. For a few days she stands out in the garden commanding all visitors to pay attention to her beauty and power. I’m back!
