Clearing space for new growth

I like gardening for several reasons.  One is that you can just work in the soil without needing to write a strategic summary or make a PowerPoint presentation.  Another reason is that I find it a good analogy for making a change.  Even when you can envision the new goal you want to reach, the work often starts with clearing out old weeds and preparing the soil.  And that can take a while. 

This is my garden box. Overgrown and ignored three years while I traveled.   I cleared it on Easter Monday morning (a holiday here in Europe).  After a few hours, I could feel in my body how I had pulled roots and dug in hard soil. And this is just a little box!  I have a vision of a small perennial garden.

I'll keep you posted on how this change evolves.
