The Gardner
In almost all religions and cultures, the garden represents a sacred place, where the self meets its unconscious. A garden begins in the intimacy of an hand touching the ground, sifting and turning the soil, loosely sowing or uprooting one form of vegetation to give breath to another. We cultivate and nurture our gardens, harvest and exploit; we negotiate with the forces of nature.
