Gardening

Patience, time, aromatic memories and savory meals

Carefully tended
with expertise - water and sun

waiting for the seeds that have been planted
with
joy
experience
love
exasperation

toiling tasks
repeated over and over

releasing the pessimism from my nature would leave me bare

I hold tight but letting go is the way to flourish

stepping back and observing
taking a break

waiting for the tastes of the season
