| Philosophers Garden |
| Gardening
is a kind of meditation. Well, that is how we experience our work. While
working we think but not always -in fact: almost never- about the work itself.
Let's say; we think about life. After, before and in between work we live
our life; have a chat here and there, read a book, drink a glass of wine
etc. etc.. And the next day, during the work, we think about what we've
experienced, heard or read. Sometimes it results in a deep thought, a comparative,
a proverb, aphorism or whatever. Some of them we've written in concrete
tablets and these are scattered around in what we call our 'Philosopher
Garden'. Not all are our own thoughts; quite a few are borrowed. One of
our 'main suppliers' is the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran for he was a master
in verbalizing thoughts and experiences in compact expressions; impossible
for us to improve. A few quotes are also noted. And the rest is fully our
own although it can never be excluded that somebody else(where) also came
to the same reflection. The Philosophers Garden consists of more than 150 different shrubs, trees, groundcovers and of about a 100 or so meters of pathways. |
