I dreamt last night that as I walked along a path, I spotted a cluster of Passion Flower blooms, growing in the shade of a tree. I was speechless and in awe to have encountered such a treasure, as in the waking day before, I had wished to incorporate some into my garden. I once had a friend who so lovingly cultivated these flowers and the sight of them in one of the garden books I've been pouring over lately brought back such sweet memories of this friend, with whom I have since lost contact. Finding these flowers in my dream gave me the bittersweet thrill of encountering a long-lost friend. I gathered some of the spent blooms, in hopes of bringing the seeds as well, back to my own little garden space.
It is with this same thrill that I hope others encounter this blog. A place to rekindle, or simply discover, a kinship with growing things in the cultivated spaces in our lives. Experience the peace brought about by feeling the connection to the elements in our environment, be they plant or person, weather or woodsong. Welcome to my Garden!
