Las virtudes del huerto

With the pruning shears at our waist, let's take a few steps into the garden. A twig to top here, a tomato to tie there. Juicy ripe blackberries, the velvety touch of peach, the heady aroma of some flower. Leaving home and immersing yourself in nature helps us to detach a bit from ourselves, from what had left us numb, apathetic and depressed. Outside, a whole world awaits us that needs our attention and care: an open field where we can plant a handful of seeds, a windowsill where beautiful clay pots are lined up, a hedge where birds stay or an orchard from which feed. The magic consists of creating something beautiful and fair knowing how to limit oneself, listening, opening the dialogue between the human being and nature to discover unexpected satisfactions that harmonize us with the seasons and the cycles not only of the garden, but of our own life. Passion and patience united, rooted in the earth, to drain each day fully in an act of community and brotherhood with nature. Let's get closer to the wisdom, reflections and advice of a writer who bustling outdoors has found serenity and knowledge, desire and fulfillment, spirituality and concreteness. And the most powerful inspiration for her simple and elegant literary output.
