I have been building a secret garden this summer.
A place to hold and grow beauty.
A sanctuary of peace.
A touchstone of Divine Remembrance.
It is modest in terms of gardens.
A collection of simple pots with typical garden center flowers.
Nothing exotic.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Nothing special.
Except this tiny patio garden
This humble experiment in awakening my inner cultivator
Has proven to be an earthly visitation of long forgotten dreams
A little girl who was sure magic was real
Who listened for faerie whispers
Who imagined she was a lost princess in search of her home
Except now the little girl is gown
Life has become complected, nuanced, and I am tired of looking for a home I never lost
But this garden I am growing, it holds faerie wisdom and surprises
And powerful magic
An enchantment has been cast on me
I am not time traveled back to the princess child I imagined
Instead it reveals the Empress I’ve become and the kingdom I am ready to claim.
