You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt. - Author Unknown
I can't think of a better therapy to prescribe - for any of us really - than to go and create a garden, to tend it each day, and water it, weed it, and share it with someone else, whether it is someone that happens to walk by, or someone to help you in it. Dig that dirt, tell it your troubles, plant your seeds, and wait for spring, mourn over the plants that die, and watch as leaves fall. Watch as the years turn and marvel over your garden. Plant trees and flowers and vegetables to remind you of friends or relatives no longer with you. Pick the flowers when they bloom and remember them tenderly. Cook the recipes that loved ones nurtured you with. Create a wonderful - marvellous soul place for yourself... over the years.
