"I am deeply grateful for the community the Garden of Friends has provided and to you as the keeper of this Garden. 
I attend whenever I can and often will do so at the detriment of other responsibilities. The benefits and warmth it brings to my heart far outweighing the benefits of whatever it is that I am putting aside...

Thank you Judith, for coining the term "Garden Of Friends".
I speak when I feel compelled to share to benefit others or to ask questions which have not dissolved of their own accord. Stories are fun and can be entertaining but the real value lies deeper in the heart of this community. 
The Buddha tells us to take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. These three jewels are present in each and every garden of friends session."

"I never felt better being in silence, than with you guys ❤️"







This garden is growing wild

with friends of varied

color, shape and size


Each unique in expression

likened to a flower,

stretching toward a common sun


While they appear separate,

a deeper connection exists where

unseen roots meet and intertwine


None are trying to be

or forcing growth,

flowering happens


Winter looms,

colors fade,

form collapses


Fear is abolished

in knowing existence delights

to discover and meet itself again


Spring comes,

vibrancy returns,

friendships blossom



Thank you Walter for your poetry ❤️
