“Green”

From community gardens -

Despite decades of laying down concrete cladded grounds upon which to situate the many buildings to house and perform for all the people moving into a locale, there remains much potential for the reclamation of opportunity by natural life. Many studies indicate that greenery enriches human well-being and improve health. Nature rises in spite of all obstacles. In the niches escaping notice, moss and small flowers grow seemingly without any special attention or obvious sources of water or nutrients. In abandoned corners, a plethora of unidentifiable plants grow at their own leisure and will. These are the forgotten secret gardens that rise in every town and city. Sometimes minute, sometimes unseen, they are the proof of nature’s resilience. That we too as humans draw from nature our force of life, these are as the wellsprings in urban jungles and small towns alike. If we do not even notice their existence and beauty, we should never have the courage to care for them and cultivate them to be our sources of joy.
