Known for its relaxing qualities
I come here to a place to find tranquillity and healing
From preparing the soil to the joy of harvesting
All of which aids, supports, and prompts me
In my quest
To reduce the risk for obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes
This moderate activity
Makes me feel good
Makes me feel safe
Makes me think
Something I have not done in a long time
I followed others for so long
Until I stopped following
Until I slowed down, followed the path I wanted and
Reached out to a community
That existed, that quietly carried on
That welcomed me with open arms, words of advice and encouragement
They did not judge
They did not shout
Just passed me the pair of gloves
To start
