“I think if we all gardened more, they and all of the other birds that fly in the air above and light in my garden below would be better off. I know that God values them no less than I do. So when I plant in spring I also hope to taste of God in fruit of summer sun and sight of feathered friends.” IfsThinkingKnowsLightWould BeValuesSunAirTasteSummerSpringBirdGardenSightPlantFruitBetter OffSummer Sun Book:Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening Source: Inheriting Paradise: Meditations on Gardening
“I think gardening is nearer to godliness than theology. True gardeners are both iconographers and theologians insofar as these activities are the fruit of prayer 'without ceasing.' Likewise, true gardeners never cease to garden, not even in their sleep, because gardening is not just something they do. It is how they live.” ThinkingPrayerSleepActivityGardenFruitCeaseTheologyGardeningTheologianGardenerGodliness Author:Vigen Guroian
