For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion... |
 Welcome to my Blog!! Having an opinion is better than not having a thought of your own. I have many of both.... Pull up a pew and grab a hot, steaming mug of your choice. |
| Prompt: If you look the right way, you can see the whole world is a garden. **** I don't think the world resembles a garden. At least, not what I think of when I hear the word āgardenā ā even wild gardens. I can understand why it could be considered a microcosm in comparison to the wider universe. But a garden, that is too mundane for what the world is. What it contains. I think gardens resemble the world ā a snapshot of it ā they are a reflection of what we admireā¦ and perhaps a little of what we want to control. They say far more about us than they do about the world. The world is wild, and raw, and dangerous, as well as beautiful and delicate, with a multitude of landscapes; that yes, can be mimicked and replicated, but not altogether in one cohesive space. Not successfully. And even those aspects that are ā feel muted in comparison. The world isnāt manicured or planned. It isnāt orchestrated. It's more water than land. I donāt know of many gardens where the pond is bigger than the plants. We let ourselves think we are in control of it, and yet time and time again Mother Nature shows us that we survive and thrive at her grace. A garden survives and thrives by ours. So maybe, the world is Mother Natureās Garden, and we are the equivalent and an ant infestation she is putting up with until we start to impact everything around us. |
