Before and After (November 30, 2008)




The almost daily showers and thunderstorms had prompted me to stopped visiting the garden as there was no need for watering. The plants became greener, bushier and had grown to their unexpected heights. The shade was good during midday but the coming of the snakes and other bugs and creepy crawlies signaled the end of this forest-like habitat.

In come the gardeners armed with their machetes and lawn mowers. It took them almost six hours just to completely transform the once secluded sanctuary of uninvited guests to a bright and airy garden of my choice. Now, the entire place is more inviting to humans where a simple meditation or a ride on the wooden swing offers a safer environment to walk through.

Some changes are not welcome but there are changes we need to do in our lives so that we can free ourselves of our guilt or bondage. There are decisions to be made, choices to weigh and things to execute. If we continue to live in the past or in our own shadows, we can never go beyond our dreams to find a better life. Just like the garden, the change was a welcome change.
