garden



God uses my garden to teach me
About life
And process
And spirituality 



And I find my life to be much like my garden
Where things grow and die
Weeds and bugs creep in
Some spots get too dry 
Yet others are too soaked, they're drowning

But my Gardener cares daily
And knows what I need 
He waters, tills, prunes, and plants



And so if I can be a little more like my Gardener
In my own home garden
I think the kale and lettuce,
Strawberries, basil, and plumeria tree
Will be just fine. 

God help me.

on my mind [and i can't stop thinking about]...


  • i'm going to be a dad... to a BOY! this is my dream come true
  • gardening slows me down, allows me to breathe, and process the processes of life
  • i am enjoying being back into a normal rhythm of life and work now that school is back in
  • where will we go on a mini-vacation before the baby comes?
