'Sanctuary'


'Sanctuary', polymer clay on glass by Galina Szakacs

Did you ever see that Home, Garden, untouched Nature and Sanctuary can be one? To me, home is where you live ~ garden is the polished decoration in front of the house ~ nature is where life is untouched ~ and sanctuary is where I feel safe, warm and open.

I was surprised when I saw the home and garden of my friend Barb Young. I experienced a feeling of being surrounded by nature. Here is a small white shed, unobtrusive and a hint of home. Here is a Garden, the trees, color and shape of flowers, and soft paths are weaved into one body.

I did not worry about disturbing the busy birds and butterflies. I belonged to their Sanctuary, and I was listening to their Stories.
