Gardening Lessons on Life and Death

There are so many things that the garden, the plants in it and gardening can teach us.
Nature and its creatures in general.
They have so many lessons to teach us.
Lessons on life and death.

Like the ability to let things go.

When it's time for these things to go away, when they're already 'dead' in the figurative and literal sense and don't do you any good.

Lessons about not clinging to things - material or not.

Because nothing in life is eternal. Whatever this thing is, it goes away, it spoils, sooner or later it loses its value, it loses its meaning, it will lose its meaning for you, even if you don't realize it at the moment.

Everything has its predetermined for a short time short meaning and short life.

Then it has to go. It must be let go.

Because it has already fulfilled its task, its meaning.

And it's time to give way and place to new things, new flowers, blossoms and branches.

Because nothing new, productive and progressive will appear in our life, in our garden, while the old, dead and withered flowers and twigs are still standing on the strong living rose bush.

I know it seems difficult and painful.
It seems difficult and painful to me.
But there are no difficult things in nature.
Everything here is completely natural.
Only we humans complicate them unnecessarily.

Hive.jpgSoul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Thank you!

A good cleaning, pruning and replacing and all new! It is always important to keep the flowers organized and clean. At least once a week, so they don't lose their charm. What nice pictures, I congratulate you for this great work, it is very nice of you to have shared it. Thank you very much, blessings :D

I cannot stop admiring the wisdom, logic, organization and consistency of nature that it provides before our eyes every day. And I can't help but share my admiration here.
Thank you very much, Johnny Strogoff ❣️🌹

Wonderfully put! I believe I am correct that many of the great world leaders do some gardening. Helping the living and cleaning the dead wood teaches a lot indeed :)

Sounds a bit creepy, lol 😃 But you are probably right!
Thank you for stopping by and for your support 🙏 💌

Always a pleasure!
