What is it about time spent in a garden? Moments spent tending a garden fill us with the hope of new growth, new possibilities. Moments spent in nature seem to restore the spirit. The greens of the trees, the bushes, and the grasses against the blues of the sky refresh in an indescribable way. Time seems to slow down. We are able to refocus and realign our thoughts and face our realities with a clearer sense of commitment. The garden grows when we aren't looking. The flowers bloom and fade on their stems until the petals blow away on the breeze.
