70. Taking Shelter
What a word. Shelter can be as grand as a palace or as prosaic as a cardboard box. It can be a forest or a flower; a wall or an idea; a simple human touch or an entire community. A garden, nearly always, is a shelter both physical and metaphysical. Take refuge with us as we ponder what it means to create a place to be at home, for ourselves and others.
