The Carmel

This was inspired by many things that crossed my path in the past few days. 

Her garden is bursting now. Months ago, she prepared the soil, constructed a shelter, and monitored the weather. She consulted various sacred texts in order to yield the best and most abundant crops. Seeds were sown and then buds pushed slowly, ever upwards toward the light. Then finally – breakthrough! But her work is not over yet. The tender plants will continue to need life-giving water, the warmth of the Son and prayer. As she tends the vibrant plots, she hopes they will bear much fruit. She is a gardener of people.
