Best Plants To Bloom

This time is my religion.

I walk into a garden still without a terrestrial home. One without form. If it's not a figment of my imagination, it cannot be bound by any man's words.

Sacred are these places, into these spaces we grow. I walk into it time and time again. Unknowing you are, witnesses to the creation of bettering our souls.

It is easy for a man to leave his family words to read, thoughts to reflect, and upon those thoughts to think of our own existence until our demise. But, more than words, I leave you a place to draw. A gathering place so many years in the making. What began as my imagination, is now time together woven. Two simple weavers, two glorious lovers, finding closeness, finding each other.

Very few people see this, and fewer walk through the garden. Little do we know, that for every plant that grows, for those plants that show her effort, there are even more reasons she blooms. Marigolds abound, popping up periodically in the most unlikely of places throughout the garden.

Walk this garden and one thing is for sure, at first glance, the marigolds have no place in the many places each has been planted. Look carefully, and sit quietly. Watch the sunlight. More importantly, draw your attention to the spaces between the sunlight.

The marigolds grow where the sunlight fades, or sunbeams never make the days we are clouded by our own negativity.

There will be few gardens on this Earth that will bloom like the gardens we create.

Gardens are reverberant of ourselves. Over our lifetime slowly becoming our nonverbal prose.
