Breathing In Nurture and Nature

Greenhouses are lovely. I spent some time breathing in a warm, fragrant, and colorful air of diffused light today. My muscles slackened as the oxygen rich atmosphere enveloped my body. I passed the sage, thyme, fennel and basil, all aromatic and delicious. I admired the blooms of the lilies, foxglove, and lantana. Walking through a space surrounded by verdant life is yoga: deep and controlled breathing, relaxed muscles and meditation.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
Tranquility just enters and stays.

In my dreams I have a space filled with trees, flowers and a bounty of vegetation, a place to wander and reflect. This nursery to rear small plants makes the corners of my mouth pull upward because flora paints the soul with bright splashes of lemon, fuchsia, periwinkle and lime. I was glad to take a small bit of that peace home with me to tend and nurture myself.
