The Someday Garden

Gardening is just a long exercise in losing things you love. You plant a seed and hope for the best knowing you can't control the weather.

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

Lulu had to let the garden die before she could see what would grow next. Sometimes you have to let your best plans fail to find your real life.

Elodie hides her grief behind a camera lens. It reminded me how easy it is to document a life instead of living it.

The mess in the flower beds felt so honest. We try to prune our lives into something perfect when the wild parts are actually the best.
