Transformative Gardens

Help us to be the always hopeful gardeners of the spirit
who know that without darkness 
nothing comes to birth
as without light 
nothing flowers. ~ May Sarton

And
empower us to become
the always natural gardeners
mindful of cooperative metaphysical spirits
cultivating sun lightened days
and calming Earth empowering nights

Aware that with only darkness
every relationship comes to degeneration

Aware that with only light
nothing comes to full-term healthy fruition

Aware that with no light
nothing regenerates fertile blossoms

Aware that with no darkness
no silence
no winter
no deep sacred listening,
nothing roots uniting empathy
or transformative change
toward growing fresh
and wholesome integrity 

Of sacred plants
with their people
sharing this EarthGarden planet.
