I totally agree with her first line, inside cover statement; "The gardener's Day was inspired by a simple philosophy: if you cannot be in the garden every day, the next best thing is to put yourself in a garden state of mind."
For each day the entry begins with a quotation that brings awareness of the common ground shared by all who love the earth. Celebrating the spiritual connection with our botanical world will renew your mind, body and spirit with each days insights.
What is particularly interesting to me is the information of age-old feasts, festivals, and religious rituals that are rooted in nature, plants and the garden.
So, with that said I'd like to share today's Affirmation; An old Scottish prayer was said often during spring primrose season (the English hybrid is call polyanthus). When you are on your knees in the mud of the early cold days of spring, remember this prayer, which thanks God for the beauty of these romantic little flowers; "Oh Lord, who painteth the petal of the polyanthus purple--shine down in all thy power."
If you add this to your book collection, you'll be inspired in so many ways!
Spring Blessings!
