The elements of this photo exude peace. The just mowed meadow, the shade on a warm summer evening, a restful chair, and the up-side-down wash basin all hint at work completed and time for a well deserved rest. Yes, the work demands will start afresh in the morning, but that is also part of peace, knowing we have a purpose, important things to do, and again, rest at the end of another day. Some might call it stress, this constant beckoning of the urgent, and yet it is what gives us purpose and without purpose, there is no peace. I have to learn to re-name my stress and today is the perfect time to start. * This is one of many beautiful components in Walter and Elizabeth Regier's garden. They will be on the Garden tour in June and we had a chance to meet the Regiers and preview their beautiful property last night. They were generous in letting me photograph to my heart's content last night.
