A Time of Giving and Receiving
When we hear “connect with nature,” for many of us, our minds immediately think of this as an individual practice, a walk in the forest, or gardening outside. What if we think about it more broadly? Have you considered expanding the idea of connecting with nature to create a “space” that not only grounds and clears your mind and emotions but also gives you the strength to build relationships and connect with others beyond yourself?
Navigating life alone may not be easy. At Keeler Gardens, we believe individualism can be used for good, and when used outwardly in partnerships with community members, it can be a force with great positive impact. When we take time for ourselves, we can grow in many ways, but we should also take the time to offer ourselves to others. Relish the growth for yourself and help another individual as well.
It’s about giving and receiving, because when you can selflessly help another individual, you, in turn, redefine your own character. It brings into clearer perspective what matters most and what can ultimately bring a great amount of happiness and joy for everyone.
This is the power of community, and Keeler Gardens has had a wonderful opportunity to experience this by supporting a community member in need. Although this member is physically a part of another geographic community, in a different state, Keeler Gardens carries the idea of supportive communities beyond specific borders, defined by relationship requests. The relationship that Keeler Gardens has built with this individual spans years, but recently, through a traumatic event they experienced, they were in need of daily living support, like groceries.
As soon as we received this request and understood the circumstances, the team at Keeler Gardens instantly knew that we could grant them the support they needed. Not only were we happily willing to give this support, but with such joy and gratitude.
This experience serves as an example to all our volunteers, readers, and visitors that the relationships we build are rooted in exuberance and engagement and can transform into the full gift of support. Keeler Gardens has been given the gift of abundance to support others, and this individual has been given the gift to receive. In difficult times, they have had the strength to reach out, ask, and receive. What a joy the power of community is.
