why I garden

The longer I garden, the more I realize my hands in the dirt have kept me balanced my entire life.  Many of my friends at this point in my life garden also.  They, too, find stability in their lives, no matter how complicated or simple they may be.  I observe the world rushing by now, no longer in the headlong dash to the next station with the masses of humanity.  Planted in a space and time when I can ponder these things...where I've been, where I am, and where I'm likely to go.  This is about the marvelous web of connections to places, people, memories, all the sensations that I experience while out there in mon paradis.  It's about the journey...from one season to the next.
