I'd Love To Build A Garden

In this pattern

The Spiral would be the pathway

of stone or brick or bark or paver

with flowers on either side

I have ever and always been drawn, felt connected

to the ancient symbol of the spiral

It is a visual representation of my heart & soul

whenever I was turned inward

traveling deeper into myself

to sort things out

to ponder

to understand

to hide

to heal

to catch my breath

to strategize
to dream

to relocate my core

my 'center'

It is equally accurate as a visual icon

for times when

I am moving outward

outside my core

to share

to teach

to adventure

to learn

to breathe deeply of the world around myself

to take chances

to dream

to dare

With a good strong invisible lanyard

to my center, to my lifes' core

There are no limits to the outward reach of a spiral

And center is always exactly where you left it

At the core
At the middle
Where you start from,

Where you return to
Always

Yes, indeed, I  think using

the simple, ancient, beloved spiral

I could create

 a remarkable and symbolic garden....

Now I need only decide what to place

at the center

at the point of alpha and omega

A flowering tree?

A bench?

A statue?

A fountain?

Nothing at all?

Hmmmmmm.....

I'll have to ponder that point a bit further

(Your thoughts and suggestions are warmly welcomed)!
