With each nasty little thing my ex did to me, I took it out on the non-existing garden. The garden became my focus and helped me heal. As a result, I have a beautiful garden that not only provides me with pleasure, but anyone who sees it. From the ruins comes beauty. When my hands are in the soil, I feel a connection to all that is right with the world.
Gardening is just so relaxing.
It's my quiet time away from everyone. A time I use to just focus on my flowers, feel the soil, create flower beds and slow the fast pace of life down for several hours whenever I can. She absolutely mystifies me with her colors, textures and abilities to bounce back under terrible conditions. It is so relaxing to dig in the dirt, plant new varieties and see the results of my efforts. It makes you aware of all the human senses.
