Beautiful piece Marianna, it resonates so much as someone away from their home, on different land, and in temporary accommodation. Wanting to connect to the land through garden but feeling a disconnect or resistance. So glad you met that beautiful Yew - what a magnificent tree and wonderful teachings

I relate to this so much! I have often felt reluctant to do more in my garden especially, but also in my home. Because it is rented and I am aware of the connection that I form with anything that I use my hands for: planting, seeding, decorating; essentially creating. And I am acutely aware that I may move and then the emotions arise of what will I do? I'll have to take the plants with me.🥹

So, being the taurus that I am, I have to reside myself to the fact that I have to plant the flowers. I will put my colourful stamp on each room. All due to my love of comfort and beautiful things 😌 💜

Giving myself permission!

Just as you did Marianna 💜🙏🏾
