grounded on high

I planted my balcony this week, and it's the first full planting I've done since I moved here in 2003. My balcony faces south, so there's lots of sun. The flowers and plants and herbs move quietly, gently as they are touched by breezes coming from Lake Ontario. The lake air floats over building tops and dances with my flowers.

When I first moved to this city I missed the sense of connecting to the earth. I felt Torontonians weren't connected to the earth.

Simple things connect.
