A friend from back home came to visit. I thought I'd be showing her places but it was she who led me to a garden that I'd never heard of. It's a sort of secret garden, not publicized, & not on the beaten path.
We walked up a hill of stone steps to a hidden outdoor pavillion overlooking the sea. There we found
shelter from a misty rain.
The plants of the surrounding gardens, partly because of the rain, were stunning with their contrasting colors.
The donor & creator of this garden wrote that the pavillion is a chapel that stands for
"freedom, thought, prayer & action."
Thanks to her & to my friend for a lovely experience.
PS Can you guess what one of my favorite favorite books was growing up?
i'm guessing 'the secret garden'? :)
ReplyDeleteSG for sure. My son was in the musical when he was quite young.
ReplyDeleteOh, the children's chapel! I love this place. Again, you were so near. We've probably passed each other in the street. xx :)) I LOVE your drawings . . .
