A gardener’s hands are soaked with soil. The evening shower that washes away that soil is, for a gardener, the completion of the day.
A gardener says: when I wash off the soil, I think of what I planted today. Things that can’t be seen yet, but will emerge come spring.
The sensation of soil washing away from the hands — working in nature, then washing away nature’s things.
In our days too, there are things that need washing away. Just as a gardener washes away soil, we can let today’s things flow away in the shower.
