The kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for mirth. One is nearer God’s heart in a garden than anywhere else in the earth. Depending on your point of faith, life all started in a garden. The garden of Eden perhaps. Even if the big bang is your faith and evolution a part of it and Africa the cradle of life, that was a garden of a sort too, or green outdoor wild.
