We need to recover an oasis of silence within the rhyme and reason of our active life, for it is in silence that we meet God face to face.
Gardening can provide an opportunity to slow down, be still, breathe, and connect with another form of life. For me, it is an experience of communion; I become one with this precious life in my garden, and it heightens my experience of love in the world. And that is what spirituality is all about: growing in love.
