The garden can be describe as a space for purification; a place to find peace, and reconnect with nature, in the simplest and most direct way. A garden provides you with privacy; it’s a natural hideaway where you can be yourself, away from the daily stress; you can take your time to meditate about life, and its course.
People nowadays have lost that connection with their natural environment. They take it for granted, violating the balance that should exist among all living things. By regaining that relationship with nature, the person can restore the balance within him/herself. The garden is like that first transcendental step to be taken towards this. By making that initial connection, we can start grabbing the rest, little by little.

Before, I just to

God, soften the soul of this insensible society, whose cynism inhibits it to cry its lost children; whose colective soul has petrified against the continuos pain of the neighbor, the sibling, and oneself. Watch over us, oh Lord, so our lack of support to others does not condemn us to suffer oblivion afterwards.

It's the doubt had when we kind of recognize ouon Jan 20 5:50 PM, 200 words. → 10 comments, Add one?
