IMG_0026.jpgI see gardens as inherent spiritually metaphors.  They grow, they need nurturing, they are mysterious, they are beautiful, they can feed us, they can break our hearts.

I put together a slideshow of images from my garden to celebrate the most positive of all the metaphors.  Thriving, healthy garden – can a thriving, healthy life be far behind?  Yes, please.
