| Introduction | At the end of Lent 2007, on my own in North Carolina, I purchased a fully-renovated, 58-year-old, not-so-big house with over-grown, neglected gardens. Given little to do inside the house, other than put color to the beige walls, I fell in love with restoring the gardens to their former glory. Five years later a restlessness settled over me again, and I declared that garden finished and set my face to the gardens in the Pacific Northwest, my soul home. The journey continues to discover what new gardens can teach me. I write to learn what I know, and I share it with you in the hope that it will spark you to engage in a dialogue with yourself and with others; and to join me in living with courage, with integrity, and with an open spirit. Here is my view of life from the garden. |
