Gardening and the Secret of Happiness
"By a shower of gifts and a heavy rain of lessons," a good mother loves
her children. This is how author and botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer came
to the awakening of true happiness as she realized that the time spent
and lost in her garden were the happiest moments of her days. Like her
children lost in the wonder of digging in the soil, Kimmerer saw what
was most important in her life as she was picking beans from within the
"spiraling vines of her tepee trellis." Kimmerer awakened to the beauty
of being on this earth as part of a loving relationship with the
Otherwith Mother Earth and all she nurtures. Read and listen to more of
Kimmerer's thoughts on nature.
