Six year old wisdom ...

Notes from the Garden… #103

There are so many people who have made my garden great. Anyone who gardens knows that God is always in the process. Several years ago Christian, then the six-year-old grandson of our Orthodox neighbors, found me pruning roses on a Sunday morning. “How 'comes' you aren’t in church,” he challenged me. "I was!”

“What did you learn?” I asked.

“I learned about the Transfiguration,” he said.

“What’s that?” I asked. “It is too complicated for you to know.” Christian said.

For some people gardens are complicated; some know the names of all the weeds … but everyone, no matter who you are, can sit in one and listen to the wisdom of a six year old.
