As I placed my bare feet on the cool, moist soil. I grabbed my garden shovel, stepped over the small fence, and soaked in the mild breeze and beautiful rays of the spring sun that rained over me. The five peppers my daughter had planted from seed had outgrown their container and needed a new home. My front yard garden was the perfect place. As I dug into the soil placing the first plant into the ground, I felt calm. I felt peace, I felt still, I felt that this was something many people needed.

Loved the book! Playing in the dirt was my favorite pastime as a child. And perfectly therapeutic in so many ways that fit with the current situation of the world and everyday life. Grow some food, get your hands dirty, take a deep breath! Thank you Ben.
