So suffer trees and bushes, all this woman’s cut and sever of misdirected growth and they reach out mindfully to damage their attacker but attackers yet are saviours in the summer of new life. I can see the background now grey and deadly, boring as if the past must take a stand and be likewise attacked but I have no wish to save what cannot be altered. I stand amidst the dead wood happy to be free to create a new reality on my side of the deadly in conscious awareness of the season’s time-frame. ‘tis the garden of my heart I’m preparing now to bloom cognisant of the damage that first and foremost must be wrought before the truly wonderful is reaped and harvested!

Beautiful association of gardens, dear Helen! I always feel the pain of the plants when there is need to cut them and I have seen amazing reactions in plants ... it is a pity that we have to cut and sever! Likewise, our inner garden can hold an immeasurable amount of love and emotions, but still we need to let go of certain connections, before we can fully accept new ones. I am sure, dear poetess, that your heart is in full bloom and the fragrance is perceived ... Enjoyed. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Lovely Linda - thank you so much for understanding and, dear Margherita, you are so right about the letting go. I'm beginning to think that all of my past must go even though there's a part of it that I so very much want to keep. Love to you both Helen |
