Wisdom from the Gardens brings meaning and purpose to life through reflections on garden images. It shows how garden life mirrors our connection with the cosmos and with our own inner world.
For the past 20 years I have searched for ways to have more balance in my
life. Nature has become my refuge for letting go of stress and taking time
to breathe. One of my favorite places to walk is Longwood Gardens. In my
journal I keep observations of garden images. With an artist drawing pad I
sketch out my ideas, looking to the natural world for guidance in human
affairs. Observing garden images and making connections with life
experience began a remarkable journey. What I have learned has changed how I
see myself and how I live my life. I offer nature's lessons for all who
share my desire for life purpose and balance.
My book, Wisdom from the Gardens: Life Lessons, tells the story
of my spiritual journey and my lessons of garden wisdom. The Illustrator,
Kim Henson, also has a love and respect for nature. Her delicate and
detailed garden images enhance the book's message. Kim and I produced
Wisdom from the Gardens as a labor of love. We hope you
enjoy our book and find it helpful for your life journey.
