Marilyn Barrett quote

Marilyn Barrett, a psychotherapist and photographer, shares the pleasures of tending her garden.
She states:
“Planting a garden is an act of optimism. When you plant a seed, you put hope in the ground. Your trust is in the future when there is no present sign that life will come.” As we take care of our gardens, we are nourishing our souls in a greater appreciation of the abundance of life.

The cycles of Nature are not unlike human cycles. Birth and death. Friendships, loved ones, come and go. In the Winter, we tend to go dormant and then awaken in the Spring. Understanding that these cycles are a part of who we are, creates an easier path for allowing this natural process to be.
