Since I retired, I have been able to enjoy gardening in my small yard. I'm not really very good at it, but the inner peace I feel when doing what I can to assist nature and to enjoy it is wonderful.

Sometimes the best thing we can do for the environment or our gardens is to let nature find its own way, just harmonize with it, just let it be as it wants to be and feel one with it. I believe that is consciousness, feeling ourselves in harmony with the natural world around us.

Thanks for this post.
