 "A garden is a delight to the eye and a solace for the soul." -Saddi
Now that spring is officially here (well I hope, I'm from New England so you never know) the birds are singing, the grass blades are dancing, tree buds are bursting, and flowers are poking their heads out ready to flourish. Families all throughout the northeast are taking advantage of warmer days to prepare for months of outdoor living and entertaining. Months ago I left the city for a more peaceful life in the valley so this will be my first spring here and I'm loving every minute of it. It's truly amazing how sitting outside here differs from being in the city. As a Shaman, being outside helps me to connect more with nature and Spirit so creating a relaxing environment outdoors is important to me. I've really enjoyed decorating my front porch and the courtyard with bright calming colors. I've never been one to get my hands dirty and play in dirt but somehow I've become totally obsessed with creating a fairy village within my meditation garden. |
