Happy pollinators, healthy lands, and a passion for gardening.
“Tending my inner garden went splendidly this winter. Suddenly to be healed again and aware that the very ground of my being — my mind and spirit — was given time and space in which to go on growing; and there came from my heart a radiance I had not felt so strongly for a long time…What, then, is there to fear? Only forgetting!”
–Rainer Maria Rilke (translated by William Needham)
