ALONE, I FAIL AS A GARDENER, BUT WITH HELP …

De Colores – A Tanka Poem

Life in black and white.

Weeds grow in Eden’s Garden.

Original sin.

God’s compassion . . . Jesus Christ.

Garden blooms, living color!

BLOOM!

After all, nothing depends on how things turn out–only on how you see them when they happen

– Gregory Boyle –

 

Saturday Quote of the Day – Dirt!

“Every flower that ever bloomed had to go through a whole lot of dirt to get there!”   Barbara Johnson

Lord, please help me to bloom and not to be done in by the weeds trying so hard to overtake me!  Amen

I Am A Christmas Cactus . . .

Are you?

All was bright in life for a time, fragrant, and fresh.  Oh, how lovely it was to have those who gazed in my direction say “ahhhhh!”  Then, things in life began to droop.  My petals  . . .  where have they gone?  At least my leaves are still . . . oh, no!  Not my leaves as well?

How odd!   Wow, it’s dark . . . day and night are all the same.  What is to become of me?  Hmmm . . . A new season is coming, someone said . . . I wonder . . .

Hey, something within me is feeling different, new!  Maybe it IS a new season approaching . . . it is said that a period of darkness leads to a time when I will bloom anew!  It simply takes the Master Gardener’s touch . . .
