Tending my garden within . . .

One Eye Sees . . . The Other Feels . . . The Mind Seeks   ----Paul Klee

Ferns seek the shade, shelter from the harsh sun, content to thrive at the foot of greatness.

And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.
     -----Isaiah 4:6

My pot of impatiens
Lovely and quiet.
I wonder why it
Prefers the private
Shelter of shade.

When asked she conveyed
Self-assured and unafraid,
I'm happy for grand 
Blooms in the sun,
But please understand
The power of one.

All have been granted
Purpose where planted.
Dare not downgrade
A place in the shade.

We all have been kissed
With incredible gifts, 
That honor and build
A life that's been given . . .
 . . . A life worth living.
     -----G. Hill

Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
      ------1 Peter 3:4
