DiaryOfAWorm: Let It Be!


Mother Mary garden in 2007

One of my favorite Beatles’ songs is “Let it be”. The lines: “Mother Mary said to me ‘let it be’, ‘let it be’” rings in my ears frequently.

Today we planted an evergreen tree given to us by friends to honor Peter in the front lawn. We noticed how nice our front lawn gardens have come to be, the rain garden full of flowers on one side and the vegetable garden full of tomatoes and basil on the other side.

Tonight a random picture from 2007 appeared on my computer screen of the center of our backyard garden featuring the statue of Mother Mary, bird bath and flowers. The statue and bird bath are still there but is now surround by overgrown plants and weeds. All the attention paid to the front garden has resulted in a lack of attention to the backyard garden.

My son Peter used to say “I am doing my best”. All we can do is our best and the rest we need to say with Mother Mary, ‘let it be’, ‘let it be’.
