A moment in the garden
with toes exploring rich earth
face caressed by sun and breezes
Pop a tomato in the mouth
so flavor seeps juicy into cells
—————————-
It starts in preparation
seeding, planting, tending
And just as you and I
care tenderly for us and each other
The daily rituals of conscious attention
So, too, the garden comes to bear fruit
and nurturing peace…
