I reap what I sow & boy I have sowed. 

Sewed and sewn and sewed. Planted and 

watered and planted and watered. But then, I 

forgot to water them at all and I had to start all 

over again. Sometimes, I sewed in the shadows and 

sometimes in the heat. But mostly in the beat of a mal-

nourished heart and depleted soul. Both places made the 

flowers die. I tried to plant all kinds of exotic sorts such as

pineapple trees, banana plants, coconut trees, mangos, grapes

but it was either too cold or too dry so they all died, the plants

& I am ever so sorry about that. But I tried, I really did. For so

many years, to no good and no fruit. And this seemed to be a

never-ending vicious circle that I repeated year after year. But

then I saw a tulip garden in all its flavours & colours and when

reconnecting with my inner child, she showed me these

beautiful tulips gardens. It was her secret place that she

had hidden all these years, waiting for the right 

moment to present it to me. 

But, I have something urgent to tell you. 

Nowadays, I have this magical little garden, a 

secret garden with lots and lots of tulips. Tulips that 

are red, white and yellow and it is beautiful here. Serene. 

I share it with my inner child and creative self. And earth 

angels who are sent to this world to do some good. And 

not to forget or neglect all the spirit guides who have been 

with me on numerous occasions. They do it for the greater

good. This is usually where we met up & enjoyed each other’s

company, that secret garden of mine. I feel bad for having 

them all to wait all these years but she has been patient 

with me and now she is more daring to appear 

whenever I call for her presence.
