Risking a tired cliche...life is a garden...
Some random thoughts have been rattling around and ready to spill out. No "drop the chicken" moments happening (thank you to a fellow writing classmate for that handy metaphor...Kristina is a talented young writer and you can follow her blog here Kristina's writing blog Bird Droppings).....just recurring minor observations. Hanna Rion has written, "The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses"....and this is so true. But, it occurs to me that there are so many other "senses" that also awaken in the garden. The sense of anticipation, the sense of wonder, the sense of accomplishment....well, the list goes on.

So glad my metaphor came in handy! Thanks for linking to my site. It's neat to see you're blogging!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your note, Kristina! I was glad to make the link. Clearly, your piece about having to "drop the chicken" made an impression on me and others in the class, I know. I wish I didn't have to miss so many sessions this season as I love what comes out of the workshop experience. I look forward to reading/hearing more of your work. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for an update on the "Natural Area". I couldn't possibly get off the computer long enough to go across town and actually look at it! :) But I will soon!
