• For making me a human being
• For making me a man
• For my gardening life partner and teacher, Elvira
• For my 4 children, so different, so beautiful
• For my hands and their many scars
• For tools to sharpen my shovels, hoes, and cutting gear
• For the ability to stoop, carry, dig, make
• For the plants I planted that live and those that didn’t
• For the flowers and fruit that plants create
• For the turning of leaves towards the sun
From my The Garden: Perennial Reflections on Beginnings and Ends Chapter 28 Thank You
