Anna and I have been learning a lot about gardening over three years since we have been living in the farm land!
Most of the fruit bearing plants we planted three years back have given their first fruits during this season. It is a delight to walk through the garden and celebrate the new life of the plants after the monsoon. They have grown, flowering and dancing in the sun with new vigour.
One aspect of the gardening experience we are learning is the need to do what is needed at the right time. They need attention almost daily!
This has brought us new awareness about the rhythm of life! Every day is complete only by following a rhythm of paying attention to the life within and without! Giving attention to the life within calls for time for reflection and renewal. Giving attention to the life around us calls for planning and watching over with attention and care!
Life is a journey towards coherence and convergence... St Augustine said, '.. our souls are restless till they find in rest in Thee, Lord of of our lives!'
