The Garden is Rich

 



I could not agree more with this title 'The Garden is Rich'

I came across few blogs and found that this particular Native American prayer was probably most fancied by the bloggers and poets. Let's see if you can also feel The Mystery.


The garden is rich with diversity
With plants of a hundred families
In the space between the trees
With all the colours and fragrances.
Basil, mint and lavender,
Great Mystery keep my remembrance pure,
Raspberry, Apple, Rose,
Great Mystery fill my heart with love,
Dill, anise, tansy,
Holy winds blow in me.
Rhododendron, zinnia,
May my prayer be beautiful
May my remembrance O Great Mystery
be as incense to thee
In the sacred grove of eternity
As I smell and remember
The ancient forests of earth.

- Chinook Psalter

'Oat' and 'Out'

"Son, if the oats finish, we may need to go out!" Said a young mother to her little boy. How do you perceive this line, a sad line? Supposing it is a sad line, yes, they need to go out! Even if it is a happy line, they still need to go out. "Mom, let's go out and pick strawberries instead! The boy responded cheerfully. I learned something from children way of thinking, that we can count on their big picture thinking in hard times or dilemma. Photo source: Unsplash (Photographer: No-Revisions)

Born to Create

Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer:Welcome to All ! ツ ) Yes, it is our nature to fight It is our nature to conquer It is our nature to love and hate  It is our desire to find the meaning of everything We build and destroy We burn things and we grow things We initiate war and declare peace We always compete in everything We were born to create  Create a tower that reach the heaven and look for its Creator Create monuments for ourselves Create the skycrapers to see from above We were born to create Create songs to lift up our praises  Make music to worship The Lord and move the heaven's army Build houses for The Lord and gather up to pray together.
