In The Secret Garden…
Everywhere you look is a gift…

My mother had the the most amazing gardens when I was a child. She loved to be outdoors gardening and her labor of love always showed in our yard. That love for gardening is something that was shared among other members of her family and passed down in generations.
The Secret Garden is nestled in Newburyport and it belongs to my cousin who spends each day working in her garden paradise, tending to her perrenials with love and devotion.
When I have the time to visit with my cousin in the Secret Garden, I am transported to a place of peace and always feel a sense of being home. As the love of gardening has been passed down through generations of women in my family, so to have perrenials been passed along and kept blooming for generations. The Secret Garden has iris and peonies that belonged to both my mother and my aunt, even my grandmother.
My mother would tell me as a child that nothing was more important than tending the earth. She knew the connection of our need to treat the Mother [Earth] with love and respect…

Were all the year one constant sunshine, we
Should have no flowers,
All would be draught and leanness; not a tree
Would make us bowers;
Beauty consists in colors; and that’s best
Which is not fixed, but flies and flowers. ~~ Henry Vaughan

I re-mind myself everyday that my life is full of blessings. Even in the midst of toughest day, the process of re-minding myself, can lighten the struggle. I know that remembering my blessings everyday is a practice and in practice we find knowledge.
