Across the years, somehow, this garden, below, reaches deep within, and holds me dearly.
.
The fence is so much more than its parts.
.
You seeing Pablo Picasso & Georges Braque, or my favorite Kurt Schwitters too?
.
Perhaps you see a fence made from junk, the best a poor person could do?
.
Not me. I see the best within the human spirit. Means may be meager, yet the end soars. In the making those means are made golden.
,
Perhaps that is why this garden wraps its arms around me. Connection with a kindred spirit.
.
And thus we've arrived where E.M.Forster wrote, myriad volumes, upon a pair of words, "Only connect."
.

.
Dignity & truth abide, above. Of course Forster, in, A Room With A View, "It is so difficult – at least, I find it difficult – to understand people who speak the truth. ", writes of humanity, not merely those he prefers.
.
Garden & Be Well, XOT
.
Today's Garden Design assignment: Design your garden with the core of your dignity & truth, conveying who you are. Shoot a pic of this newly designed garden, next, push the pic a century forward, you are long buried, will viewers know who you were, from that lone pic of your garden?
.
Seems a bit extreme, yes? Why should Picasso, Schwitters or Forster have all the fun, with their art? It's all there, for you, too. Only connect, within.

The builder of this fence didn't know it at the time, but it's stunning! Thank you for sharing it with us!
