Spent many hours in the garden today, weeding my strawberry patch, planting onions sets and watering my garlic. Every time I go to work on my veggie patch, I discover a new reason why I love gardening. Today I was reflecting on how growing plants requires me to be radically hopeful and to trust that there will be a tomorrow, one that I care about and one I want to make better. At the same time, gardening teaches resilience and humility. Not everything will work out, not every seed will sprout. But then we gardeners don't just quit - we and our plants just try again next year 🌱

It's a mix of total commitment and unconditional love - but also the ability to let go, to not become overly attached and accept that you can't control everything.

"If there is one thing I want you to learn" says the master to his son as they tend to the garden, "It's how to grow plants and make people happy."

"But dad", replies his son with a look of confusion. "That's two things?"

"No" smiles the master, shaking his head. "No, it is one".
