We are of the earth... [View all]

We are of the earth.

Gardening, isn’t what it appears to be.

Yes, it’s working with the soil.
Yes, it’s the beginning of things.

Yet, it is full of surprises.

It’s more than producing flowers and vegetables,
working among weeds and rocks, trees and grass.

Still, these all come from the same source.
The earth gives birth to all these things.

We are of the earth,
Gardening is the dawn of that realization.

Lovely thoughts and so true. A shovel is the quickest way to ground myself! If only weeds weren't involved! 58Sunliner Jun 27 #9
