Book description
Sister Stan, as she is affectionately known, was brought up on a farm
in Dingle, County Kerry, one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.
It was there that she learnt to appreciate the earth, its stillness
and its energy, its beauty and its bounty.
In this hugely powerful and evocative book, Sister Stan looks to the
earth that is so precious to our existence for inspiration throughout
the year. Reflecting the garden's changing rhythms through the
seasons, Gardening the Soul offers us a daily thought to keep
us going as we face the challenges of modern life.
All our moods are covered here...
* in January, when there is silence in the garden, she looks at
Solitude in our soul...
* in March, with emergence in the garden, she offers Hope...
* in August, when there is fullness and abundance everywhere, there
is Blessing, and
* in October, the time of harvest, there is Harmony
