There was joy and delight in this garden inspired piece. Along the way a gentle whisper emerged. It sounded like an echo of the wisdom of my friend who brought me the bouquet of flowers that inspired this piece.

She said to me, "I just want to tend my garden. I just want to spend time in the beauty and magic of it all."

That is what I found myself doing in the studio, and yet I realized the tending was of my heart. The whisper sounded like this, "Tend, Tend, Tend. Tenderheart. Tend Your Heart."

What is it to tend my heart?
What form might that take?
How do I be gentle with the parts of my life that feel complicated?
How do I be brave with the upcoming changes?
How do I be soft with the moments of pain?

"Tend, Tend, Tend. Tender heart. Tend your heart."

In the joy and beauty of these garden flowers there is an effortless (even though tiny efforts are needed daily to keep weeds at bay). Tend, Tend, Ted, Tenderheart, Tend your heart.

Might this whisper of garden wisdom speak to you. How might you have a tender heart today? How might you tend your heart? How might tending your heart create the space for healing and rest that allows you to keep going? This wild garden beauty is a reminder of these gentle whispers.
