“The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a gardener is in the touching. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.”
~Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
I recently had three trees removed from my backyard to allow
more sunlight to enter and facilitate a healthy environment. As it turns out, a brighter spot on the edge
of the grass now receives a nice dose of sunlight to stimulate both the grass
and a new garden of flowering plants.
So, I’ve had the pleasure over the springtime to add a little more
interest to the small piece of our planet that I’ve been entrusted to oversee.
I also do the lawn
cutting around the little space that I maintain and will relinquish one day. But hopefully, my springtime gardening
project will also add a sense of solitude and joy to some fellow sojourner as
it has to me.
