If you look from a distance the garden seems done but it is far from that. Let’s go on a tasty walk! No I’m not picking produce or fruit, I am eating my plants!

The flowers have faded and the spiders have arrived early preparing for Fall🍂

The flowers are fading and I am still capturing a few to press as the blooming season comes to a close. The spiders are out earlier than usual this year. I am always amazed by the architecture and craftsmanship when the dew exposes the details of their intricate webs.
Spiders are extremely beneficial to your garden~honor that they chose your space to live in💕

You Are the Gardener of Your Thoughts

Every reality begins
as a thought we choose to nurture.

You are not merely
a witness to your thoughts,
you are their gardener.

Whatever you give your attention to
shapes the way you see the world.

A thought repeated
becomes a lens.
A lens shapes perception.
And perception, lived long enough,
can begin to feel like truth.

Not every thought is the truth.
Some are old wounds,
fears mistaken for intuition,
ghosts dressed as certainty.

Let them come.
Let them pass.
Do not let every thought
take root within you.

Choose instead
the thought that leaves space
for mystery, compassion,
and the possibility
of what may unfold.

Because attention is a form of love,
and what you tend
shall flourish.

Give it to fear,
and the garden shall wither
and lose its colour.

Give it to wonder,
and existence shall become luminous.

Give it to the present,
and you shall see clearly
what is already blooming.

So choose wisely
what you decide to tend.
What you contemplate
changes what you notice.

What you notice
changes what you value.

What you value
changes what you choose.

And what you choose
becomes the shape of your life.

So sit with one thought.
Let silence test it.
Let time deepen it.
Let reality refine it.
And if it still holds truth,
water it.

For one day you may realize
the life you called destiny

was, in part,
the garden
your attention
chose to nurture.

Fall feels like it is nestling in quickly. Flowers are rehydrating and pushing a few more blooms💕

Proof you do not
have to water! None of these blooms have been watered, still blooming, still holding their own.
Unlandscaping and letting nature thrive in her own way.
