Monday Musings:Mending
Gardening itself has many healthful benefits and visiting gardens this past week definitely helped me achieve some of these by boosting my mood, reducing stress, fostering human connections and most important of all for me right now healing.
Being with Mother Nature in the variety of landscaped gardens of trees, plants / flowers and their placement whether it was Asian/ European was undeniably curative.
Just as those gardens were greatly affected by severe weather last year their damage has been removed and plantings replaced in many of these areas. A parallel to be drawn indeed to many of our lives this past year...
My spirit was not only bolstered but also boostered by the trip's participants who also share the love of gardening and the possibility of new friendships.
Amending the soil and mending one's soul both take time...
