Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

One addiction thats got true theraputic value,Im looking forward to getting stuck into mine again when the weather improves, love that feeling of soil between the fingertips, seeing things grow and take shape. Lovely quote Ruth
Hi! I've just found your blog through a link on Talj's and I am really drawn to your love of gardening.
I am in no way green fingered, but I love taking photos of flowers and plants! I'll be checking back in here often :)
