Is there
anything more generous in this world than a tended garden? Gardens provide the beauty of flowers, a
bounty of fruits and vegetables, and habitat for bees and birds. Some plants are generous enough to reappear
every year without much input from outsiders. Plants have no expectations of
anything in return for their generosity since they “know” nothing. While the garden expects nothing, without the water to give it life, the garden’s generosity
cannot be.
My hope for
myself and my readers is that soaking in the water of life produces for each of us a bounty as generous as a tended garden and that our fruit is
kindness, forgiveness, and love.
