Gardening is Magic

There’s some magic that happens when you are working in your garden, whether it be indoors or outdoors… For me, it’s a trance like state, almost meditative when I am aware of everything and yet, of nothing else. There comes a point, after which I don’t think about what I am doing, all the work happens naturally, in the flow…

After a minute or two, you can feel your body temperature rising, beads of sweat forming and dropping into the garden, almost making the garden sweeter. You don’t have to sweat in your garden so to say, but for me, it is a sweet experience. It helps me calm down, helps me focus and yet, let go.

The textures on your hands, the pulled muscles from doing some work, overall heat, various scents, be it sweetness of flowers or tartness of the soil and compost, may be even earthy smell of vegetables or the citric fruitiness from any fruits you may have in your garden, all of these surrounds you like a cocoon, filling you with warmth, love and positivity!

So it is safe to say, gardening for me is a magical experience…
