Someone on social media recently said we must accept discomfort without losing hope.
Sometimes I find as I have gotten older it gets harder to just get out of my comfy chair and be in the world. Moving and walking, especially on unknown paths, can put up roadblocks to life. And yet, we must keep moving, keep trusting the unknowns around us, and hold on to hope.
Where will the path take us? Who will we encounter? What magic can we find?
Saturday I told my "live-in gardener" about an open garden we hadn't visited in many years.It is managed by the Master Gardener's in the county. My "live-in gardener" wasn't sure he wanted to go because the weather was going to be hot. But we went and he was glad he had gone.
It was a beautiful time of connections with people and plants.
We even had opportunity to share information. This garden plot right now is probably the least pretty, but someday those little plants will grow into a lovely little tea garden. As I stood there I was able to share my knowledge with the gardener and another passer-by. For you see, in my home garden I had 8 tea plants and could produce my own tea.
And yesterday I met with a group of tea lovers and shared the tea I had made last year from my garden.
So hold on to hope and keep putting yourself out there, even when the trail is unknown and a bit rocky.
Sending love and hope in a dark and rocky world.
