Treasure Chest

Little wonder one is drawn to the
garden and to gardening. The rewards
of that binary attraction are endless, a
love affair of countless dimensions
and never-ending fascination. A
sense of gratitude to nature making it
possible, dispatching her elements
of sun, wind and water in recognition
of a kindred spirit in her creatures
acknowledging the fundamental
interconnectedness of all living things
she has created. A stroll through the
garden captivates the senses in its
mesmerizing spell, leading one to
dream while fully aware for a garden
is a daydreaming place of  solitude
and visual splendor. In the greater
scheme of nature's blueprint ephemeral
but in our lifetime a ceaseless source
of pleasure, a living, textured, fragrant
landscape akin to a treasure-chest
brimming with priceless, rare objects.
