i have been trying to heal a back that went out and have been laying in bed for the last few days.
laying around makes me grumpy but these photos of sunday’s breakfast cheered me up.
I am itching to get out into the garden. one thing i was able to do from bed was order a load of compost to be delivered today.
last weekend i gave a presentation on spirituality in the garden at a local church in town. when my neighbor asked me to be a part of the day i was hesitant since i don’t consider myself much of a religious person. she reassured me that i didn’t have to be and so i decided to take the challenge.
once i came up with my own personal definition of spirituality i could not stop writing. i put together a slide show of 100 photos and told a pictorial story about my own personal journey in the garden. each photo had a message of what the garden has taught me, given to me and opened my eyes to. i focused on abundance, acceptance, joy, creativity, reflection, connection, observance, inspiration, nourishment and appreciation.
putting this presentation together was such a gift and a reminder to appreciate all that i have. for me spirituality is a broader concept than religion. other expressions might include prayer, meditation, interactions with others and nature. all of which take place right inside my garden.
p.s. you may have noticed this little space here is going through some changes. my good friend kate is helping me switch things up a bit. thanks for your patience and stay tuned!
I don’t comment much, but I just had to stop and say how much I love this post. The list of words you came up with is inspired, and sums up simply how I too feel about spirituality. They are going in my journal. Thank you!
i love the sound of your talk. i wish i could have been in the audience!
I hope you are starting to feel better now. How I would have enjoyed that talk! Perhaps you could put together an on-line slideshow or youtube movie to share with the rest of us?
