Georgina Reid/The Planthunter, “The still point of the turning world”
The photos of the war and refugee camp gardens made me have a strong feeling.
Strange things happen when worlds crack open. Contrivances evaporate. True things reappear. We reach for the people we love. We hold tight to the things that ground us. We garden.
Today I learned: plants have hemoglobins.
This quote of Reid’s so deeply planted itself in me, thank you!
And after seeing that desert garden in Tunisia
I’ll never complain about dry weather again
I see how blessed I am even in the dryest NC Piedmont summer.
Definite perspective provided, for sure.
