I love this poem. It reminds me of the amazing strength of nature, and of the strength I can have if I’m kind to myself and make time to look after my mental and physical health.
‘Seeds’ by Walter de la Mare
The seeds I sowed –
For week unseen –
Have pushed up pygmy
Shoots of green;
So frail you’d think
The tiniest stone
Would never let
A glimpse be shown.
But no; a pebble
Near them lies,
At least a cherry-stone
In size,
Which that mere sprout
Has heaved away,
To bask in sunshine,
See the Day.

Noticing nature’s beauty helps me feel connected

Finding solace in mental health support services

Finding peace of mind at my allotment
