   Perhaps if I had playful spirits in my garden, I’d have one filled with flowers as beautiful as these, Cybele 🙂 Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

   These are beautiful. They have a magical/mystical feel to them. I’m drawn to the water garden one, and the suggestion to leave an overgrown patch for spirits to play lingers on my mind…

     so glad you like them and yes that’s a beautiful garden. There’s an advantage to being a “lazy” gardener too. I have a few overgrown patches lol!!

      thank you so much Sheldon, I popped by your blog as well! Look for the book The Essential Rumi. He lived a very long time ago but his poetry and philosophy survived the centuries. I think there is something on Wikipedia?
