Via Lions Roar // Finding Myself in the Garden

 

Finding Myself in the Garden
Valerie Brown returns to gardening to recover her broken spirit, and discovers what really grows in a garden is love.
The first foundation of mindfulness is awareness of the body. Mindful awareness invites the practitioner to see, touch, taste, and smell — to be fully alive in the present moment to the great gift of life. Mindfulness is an innate quality in every person that supports awakening to the non-reoccurring nature of each and every moment of daily life. For me, gardening became a theology of love that invited me back to my senses, which were deadened by too muchness, too soon-ness, and too fastness.
