Two Gardens

(St. Hywyn’s churchyard - Aberdaron, Wales)

“A priest has two gardens, one feeding the body and one the mind. He is trained more for the one than the other. He discovers a quicker calendar in his own garden. What he plants comes up soon. In the church-yard garden everything waits. Is the meaning, then, in the waiting? The stones face expectantly towards the east.”
~R. S. Thomas
