Summer in the Garden

Summer in the garden is not the season of toil — it is the season of gathering.

The heavy work has already been done. The seeds were sown in patience, the soil turned with care, the weeds pulled with discipline. Now, the garden gives back — quietly, abundantly, and without demand.

Everything is green, full, and fragrant. The air carries the sweetness of basil, tomatoes on the vine, lavender swaying in the warmth. Bees hum gently over blossoms, birds call from shaded branches, and the world feels — for a moment — complete.

Summer in the garden is a reminder that life has rhythms: times for work, and times for stillness. You don’t pull at the fruit to make it ripen faster. You receive what comes. You harvest what was once invisible. You breathe, surrounded by what your hands once planted and your heart once hoped for.

There is wisdom in the garden’s pace:

• To stop forcing.

• To be grateful.

• To gather what is ready, and let go of what isn’t.

• 
  

This is a sacred time — not rushed, not loud. A time for witnessing beauty, not controlling it.

And as every gardener knows: the garden gives, but only after you’ve learned to wait.
