Follow this theme and author posted Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. I finally got that garden started, and as I began to dig the earth to plant the first plant, a big ol’ worm was there to greet me. As I laughed quietly to myself, I realized the joy that emerged from such a simple place.
To be a worm in warm soil, unseen by the world, is to embody the essence of life’s unnoticed wonders. This tiny creature, thriving in its hidden realm, reminds me of the beauty in the small, everyday moments we often overlook. In the hustle and bustle of modern life, tending to a garden is a wonderful way to reconnect.
It’s a reminder that growth and joy often come from the humblest beginnings. So, here’s to the worms, the soil, and the joy of creating something beautiful from the ground up. Natasha E.
