Truly amazing that such a beautiful activity can also be so enlightening. Which is why I treasure my gardening time as a way to nourish my soul (getting back to nature) and my mind. Thanks for introducing this benefit to readers who may not have previously considered this added benefit. Edie, indeed gardening provides such wonderful metaphors for so, so many aspects of life.

I'm an "earth" person so I am always orienting towards environments that make my spirit rise. As you point out, these don't have to be big moves. Sometimes we can make small adjustments that stack up to big differences in whether we blossom or not! I love your article Edie! Thank you so much for sharing.

When we look underneath the ground at the roots of the plant, it can simply be that the ground is too hard, too sandy, etc for the roots to stretch out and grow, which prevents the plant from flourishing. When I dig up a thriving plant I love to see the intricate network of roots that it takes to support the above ground beauty. When we get to know people who are flourishing, we begin to see the network of people that support them and vice versa. Nice job Edie!
