The Garden

The Garden Come, Spend the day, walk the garden with me; ask what flowers grow; pick a peach, a pear, a fig or tomato; let me share with you a place of tranquility and inner peace where neither fear nor hate grow, where lost and found intermingle. Stay, for more than a moment. Embrace the true pleasures of life, of birth, growth and nurturing, of unconditional love. Contemplate the meaning and purpose of life, living well, its goals, triumphs, treasures and true successes. Don’t hesitate, come back to the garden where your heart was first created. You are always welcome here.

You are the first truly ZEN-like writer here, DM. Again, I went back to 2015. One minor quibble, you promised me NOT a rose garden ... but talk about "what flowers grow" was followed by "peach, a pear, a fig or tomato" - for my vase! shalom, shalom, ANIL
