Quote by Michael Pollan

The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.

The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet

Summary

This quote suggests that gardens serve as a space where humans can connect and engage with nature. It implies that while nature and humanity may seem separate or distant, gardens act as a meeting point where both can harmoniously coexist. Gardens allow us to create an environment that emulates elements of nature, reminding us of our intrinsic connection to the natural world. In exploring and nurturing gardens, we find a middle ground that bridges the gap between our built environment and the beauty and serenity of nature.

Do you often feel like parched ground, unable to produce anything worthwhile? I do. When I am in need of refreshment, it isn't easy to think of the needs of others. But I have found that if, instead of praying for my own comfort and satisfaction, I ask the Lord to enable me to give to others, an amazing thing often happens - I find my own needs wonderfully met. Refreshment comes in ways I would never have thought of, both for others, and then, incidentally, for myself.
