Garden

"Blinding heat divides day from night,
Brands short shadows into fecund soil.
Green tendrils, heavy with beans,
Coil around rustic bamboo racks.
Violet flowers gape erotically among velvet leaves:
A single gourd contains the entire world's dream."

I often wonder what God's dream is for us. When things are going well, it seems so simple and clear. When shadows fall and dark pain steals in, I don't remember that God and His plans are unaffected by the cares of this world. Because of that, it's even more vital to seek a connection with Him. I've heard that nature is the art of God, but I often wonder instead if we are the art and nature is His medium.
