“Lately I have been including the same thought in every lecture, no matter the topic. It is the concept that in public and private gardens, we can leave one area unspoiled, one microcosm where nature rules. In doing so, we benefit not only the entire garden but the larger landscape as well. Marko Pogacnik, a Slovenian artist who does landscape healing, suggests we allow these small nature enclaves to rest undisturbed in his thought-provoking book: NATURE SPIRITS & ELEMENTAL BEINGS: Working with the Intelligence in Nature available from Findhorn Press (ISBN# 1-899171-66-5). Rainer Maria Rilke if you will cling to nature, to the simple in nature, to the little things that hardly anyone sees, and that can so unexpectedly become big and beyond measuring; if you have this love of inconsiderable things and seek quite simply, as one who serves, to win the confidence of what seems poor: then everything will become easier, more coherent and somehow more conciliatory for you, not in your intellect, perhaps, which lags marveling behind, but in your inmost consciousness, waking and cognizance.
