Encased within a crystalline structure
Translucent
Worlds untouched – unknown
GAIA'S HEARTBEAT experience the pulsing earth in photos
Encased within a crystalline structure
Translucent
Worlds untouched – unknown
I stood alone amongst swaying trees
Groaning, creaking bark rubbing against bark, branches entwined cracking
A cold, damp wind permeated my soul
I sought refuge with the Dreamer…
and realized I had not been the only one
I pulled my scarf tighter around my neck and clutched my coat hoping to keep the cold at bay
Even on frozen days the garden’s beauty shines through
The garden is a refuge, not only for me but also for those who prowl its paths after dark
Twelve winter seasons at this place we call home
Twelve years of growth, of knowledge, of mistakes
Alyssum and violas have braved freezing nights
But never have Helleborus rose so confidently above a barren ground
Projects begun and completed
Dreams of those yet to come
Join with us who watch the garden grow in anticipation of what Gaia has planned for us.
