      Yes, my friend, one garden is enough, especially one as loved and beautiful as yours.  It adds a space in this world of chaos and mayhem for one to be at peace.  A moment in time, that time forgot, that the calm enveloped you and held you in it's arms, rocking you tenderly.
      Each of us dearly need our own gardens, be they real or in our minds; a place we can go to when the world seems to be crumbling down around us, even though it isn't really.  We are a odd lot sometimes, thinking ours are the only problems or issues that need any attention.  We are but tiny saplings standing in a grove of gigantic Redwood trees, insisting that our dilemmas are equal in importance to the size of the monolith by which we grow. 
      Tend your garden well, nourish and sustain all that grows and each and everyday stand amongst the flowers and draw in their healing scent.  For that time that you take to be still and inhale their gift to you, is time to appreciate all that you have and that you are.  Be grateful for the rain, winds and sunshine, for they are all components that enhance all that you are in your garden of life.  We are all but seedlings, ever growing and reaching for the sky above, spreading up and out and wrapping our tendrils of love and compassion to those who've forgotten what that means. 
      Never cease to tend your garden, reach out each and everyday to someone, the need is so great.  There is never too much empathy for our fellow gardeners and shared knowledge is a wonderful gift one can give; it doesn't cost anything and in truth, enhances our wealth a hundredfold.  The wealth that counts, love, compassion, caring; all increase our life accounts beyond our wildest dreams.
