Tend Your Own Garden
May 5th, 2009 by Nola
With a sprained ankle
and a bruised ego
I turn to my garden
to lick my wounds
and salve my soul.
Relationships change,
friends disappoint,
clay feet are discovered.
So in I go
back to myself,
like a groundhog
seeing his shadow.
Back to my yard,
my own sanctuary,
to tend to my own garden.
Oh.. I don’t know what else to say except.. ((hugs)).. going back into oneself usually helps one see better when they reemerge..

It immediately brought a rhyme to mind that someone I knew used to tell his pouty kid:
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
I’m going down the garden to eat worms:
Big fat juicy ones, long thin skinny ones,
Oooey gooey, icky, sticky worms.
But we know your worms are sacred and safe from becoming dinner.
