my black shoes
covered in black dirt
my black mood gone
Gardening or pruning my trees always makes me feel better. It also inspires my poetry, and sometimes I hear from God when working with my flowers. What happens to you when you work in the garden or flowerbed?

Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to keep plant alive. So I mostly hear them whimpering when I’m near.

The garden is like a little world all its own. Lots of interesting creatures inhabit this world and interact with each other — and here I am, the Giant, observing it all. Having the power to destroy their little nests or to let alone. So I suppose gardening gives me this little sense of compassion as well as scope. Also the benefactor and rescuer, saving weaker plants from bullying, throttling weeds. 🙂
