I Made A Garden.
The sun gives warmth to the water which flows, and the earth becomes abundant with life.
Every living thing the sustainer of another in a cycle diverse and varied... and lives itself to be alive.
While an ant serves the colony beyond and above himself, and a catapillar transforms after such a long sleep... and eighteen years later cicada song arizes. all for no other reason than to create new life.
I was a singer who moved hearts; made men cry, but they had loved before and knew tears of joy and pain.
I made a garden with flowers for the birds, and put boxes in the trees for possum neighbours, a pond I made for frogs and tiny brown fish, which I took from a natural pool in the national park.
I hear them, frogs, in the middle of the night. Doing some song to woo some princess who might kiss them... yeah, they wish.
I really just made a little place as though it were an invitation, a wordless one, but by my actions I announced 'Hey, here's a place to live', and I felt myself as a cicada does, where all I do is a cicada song, and I sing for the same reason.

I spend most of my free time creating such places these days and the feeling is unmatched. I like the way you put it. Thanks for sharing.......

I can teach you how to make a garden and a philosopher you will become, but I can not teach you philosophy and make you a gardener.

Your missus' lillies are beautiful, Humm. They're almost like the tiger lillies my mom used to grow ~ they were orange with brown spots.
