the rain has always found it,
The sun has always known.

The Tonic of Gardening
Stay Calm and Plant Something
One of the most hopeful things we can do in troubled times is to plant a garden. Planting a seed is an act of faith that tomorrow will come. In Hindi the word for seed is “bija,” which means “containment of life.” Each seed contains an embryo and a starchy food supply—everything needed to make a new plant. Seeds are proof that life goes on. |
