Growth

Something happens when you plant a garden, something that makes you feel quietly happy and content.

The easy moving of the soil, watching the ground take different shapes and feeling it begin to soften in your hands. I imagine this is the reason children love to play in the dirt so much, it brings them comfort in some unknown way.

Before the planting begins you add much needed nutrients and the once dull, lifeless earth now becomes rich with promise. A neglected patch of land has been given new life. And, now because of you, and your steady efforts, growing will begin.

A place without purpose becomes alive with growth.

Seeds and plants you tenderly placed in the ground will now await the sun’s warm rays to nourish them to life. You see your creation and you smile with sweet satisfaction and quiet contentment.

A day well spent because growth has taken place in more ways than one.
