"I'm gonna walk outside
put my hands in the dirt
Gonna lay a seed in the broken earth
Gonna wait for the sun
Pray for the rain
My act of resistance is gardening"
-"Gardening" by JJ Heller
The hope-filled thing about gardening is that small, intentional actions combined with things that we have no control over (sun and rain) can bring about beautiful and abundant results. A well-planned and tended garden is a thing of wonder, possibility, and growth.
Ponder for a moment about the parallels between a garden and the brain and it will come as no surprise to you why the song we quoted above has been such a balm to our hearts this year.
In honor of Epilepsy Awareness we bring you the purple "Maretta's Garden" Fan Club t-shirt.
The watercolor featured on the t-shirt (and this year's tumbler) is called "Maretta's Garden."
This watercolor, along with "Gardening" (a painting made specifically for Maretta's neurosurgeon) were Maretta's first real directed attempts at painting flowers.Inspired by a shared love of gardening, we dedicate the "Maretta's Garden" watercolor designed items to Dr. Ahmed.
