I'm learning
how to garden again.
While listening to one of my students
read his personal memoir draft
the
teaching experience quickly
reversed roles.
Suddenly
I was looking at
a newly blossomed bouquet
emerge on its own
while
I merely stood in the background.

In April
I'm learning once again
that
You can't force
You can't force
a tiny seed to grow
in the soils of the growing field.
You feed it.
You allow it
the space of light
then before you know it
in the soils of the growing field.
You feed it.
You allow it
the space of light
then before you know it

rose petals
fall from the sky.

Hi Anita, This speaks to my heart. Thank you. xoxo Mary
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration Anita thank you for sharing your lovely words and photographs. Happy April. xx
ReplyDeleteAll of your students are your seeds, and what a great gardener you are. I daresay, as good a gardener as photographer!
ReplyDeleteLovely words and images as always, friend Anita … Thank you … Love, cat. PS: Video still does not work for me … could you please put the title underneath so I can find it? Much love, cat
ReplyDeleteI saw that photo of the rain boots on your Instagram, and thought it was beautiful. You always get the nicest bouquets to work your magic, Anita. And I noticed that you found that chair along the way and painted it. You'll have to tell me about that. It's such a pretty soft color. I hope you get to do some gardening soon. I know how much you love it, and your garden is so enchanting. When we dig and plant and work in our gardens, we learn many things.
ReplyDeleteHappy April days to you, dear friend.
love, ~Sheri
Absolutely true dear friend.
ReplyDeleteLove these photos.
Hugs and hoppy April to you.
What could be more beautiful than these exquisite photos? Your writing.
ReplyDelete… and the cat came back the very next day … smiles … Sadly no, friend Anita … instead of a video I see a black box … I just sent you a message on how I successfully post You Tube videos on my own blog … Hotmail address and all, but my message got blocked by Blogger for doing so. You can find my email address in my profile if you want to know how I do it. Sorry for imposing like this, friend Anita, but I thought I let you know. Much love, cat.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring! Lovely words for thought.
