On retreat a couple of weeks ago, I was having dinner with a group of women when a priest friend came to sit with us. Eventually the subject turned to gardening and all was going well until at one point in the conversation he looked at me and said that I have the most under-utilized piece of land he's ever seen and encouraged me to "plant something!"
My reaction to his innocent words surprised me in its intensity and because my reaction was so disproportionately strong, I've been relating what I've been finding in my heart with regard to 'tilling the soil' to Jesus since then. The grace that has come of this relating is what will now be my own "Chronicle of Gardenia". Thanks for coming along.
