Arzu Saydam

Some people keep journals.
Some take photographs.
I looked to my garden.
Because I discovered that the soil could express what words could not.
A Lupine bloomed by the roadside and taught me that we can still be worthy, even when no one sees us.
A lilac taught me patience.
A magnolia, the wisdom of perfect timing.
And an autumn leaf, the grace of letting go.
Over the years, every flower that grew in my garden revealed something different about life.
This book is not about flowers.
It is about being human.
About putting down roots, waiting, changing, beginning again, and learning to let go when the time comes.
Perhaps within these pages, you will find your own garden.
Or perhaps, for the first time, you will discover the invisible garden that has been quietly growing inside you for years.
