I loved your garden 🪴!!! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I believe this contact with nature is really the best therapy. I my whole life I always had a feeling that I was missing something and didn’t know how to find a word to express it... I realized after I started gardening, siting and observing nature, touching the soil, I started having this feeling like a connection as like they are all a extension of myself.... overtime it build up this empathy that when I see a plant dry I get a thirst feeling in my mouth. It moves me ii a direction to give, to do something to help them live on its purpose.... especially the ones in pots, I see them like my kids waiting for nurturing and love. Everyday I thank God for sending me a direction and when i look at them all over my house, inside and outside all the time reminds me that life is about union, we have to take care of each other.
