Under the apple tree. It’s in bloom. The tomcat in front of you on the grass. You’re listening to an audiobook or sleeping. It’s one of your favourite places to be.
You helped create it. Spent decades here.
After all the children’s noise of past decades, there is more quiet in the garden now. You appreciate that fully and with deep-hearted awareness.
I’m sure of it. You’ve told me that often.
How beautiful the garden is. How safe it feels in the hammock. You take the time to rest. You’ve always done that. That’s something I learned from you.
