A plant wall!



Gardening is an artwork for some. I met the gardener who fashioned this plant wall over last three years. He trimmed and shaped the wall with diligence. It is the central piece of attraction in this lawn. 

To convert an ordinary hedge plant to piece of art needed imagination and effort. 

I met with  a family whose three years old son is now at pre-school, but struggling to adjust to the class room due to inattention. The question that his mother asked me engaged me for a while!.'How am I to bring out abilities for him to discover himself'! She was confident that if only he knew why he is at pre-school he would gather himself to focus and stay attentive! This consciousness to lead him  to a growing sense of his worth and skills is her present mission for her son. 

It is we who can affirm worth and regards to all that is around us. For a gardener to have a sense of wanting to make a plant adorn a lawn speaks a lot of his regard for the potential that he sees in the plants that he tends. 

A medical professional is a design artist in one sense. It is those who are weary of a sickness who come to us. To lead them beyond the consciousness of their sickness and give them perspective of a calling in life and affirm them to be resourceful is the mission of a medical professional. So a sick person is more than a potent, he or she has a life to live and share with others. 

A neighbour shared his distress of having to take his wife, who is only in her mind thirties, to renal dialysis three times a week, looked weary and anxious. He is now planning to sell part of his property to prepare for a renal transplant. He spoke about the doctor who is attending on him as his companion who restores his hope! This doctor makes a difficult situation bearable!

To redeem a trying situation is the calling of medical professional!
