Come home after a long day and
retire to your oasis. Kick your feet up. Rest them on the
deck railing, hands behind your head, and stretch. Now close
your eyes gently and listen, just listen to the cascading
waterfalls, laughing, gurgling, and playing with the Koi,
the water lilies, and the cat tails that constitute the underwater
world, the universe for the wildlife living, breathing, swimming
and swaying in your pond.
The breeze flows gently over your forehead and shoulders.
The robins, cardinals, and hummingbirds, dance with the
squirrels, rabbits, and other assorted critters that are
seduced by your backyard paradise. They scurry around,
scouring the premises for food and fun. Problems of the
daily grind slowly recede from your consciousness, melt
into the shadows, and finally disappear voluntarily over
the horizon.
You become acutely aware of your own breathing as you
bask in the sounds and aromas of Mother Nature that occupy
an ever higher and higher percentage of your mind. Time
passes without measure. Shadows lengthen. And by the time
you return from your backyard vacation, every ounce of
stress has been eliminated from your muscles, your joints,
your organs, your mind. You are complete in a way that
you could never be in the midst of the rat race, the grind,
the J.O.B.
Now snap your fingers...very gently. Take another deep
breath and stretch once again. Do you feel like you just
followed Alice down the rabbit hole, or Dorothy and Toto
over the rainbow, minus the Mad Hatter and the Wicked Witch
of the West?
Well, in a sense you have. You've just escaped into a
unique, partially underwater world, a twilight zone of
sorts that modern types, ranging from baby boomers to g'mas
and g'pas are discovering at a dizzying pace.
This world is technically
referred to as "the water
gardening world" and it effectively serves as a back
yard haven, a predictable escape from the rat race, allowing
sanity and continuity to regroup, to take root, and to
grow in a way that makes all the rest more tolerable, meaningful,
even enjoyable. It's a world of natural, holistic, and
organic streams, ponds, water falls, and wildlife. It's
a world of relaxation. It's a world of pleasure... pure,
unadulterated, tranquil, and peaceful pleasure.
Now if you'd like to learn more about how you and your
family can cultivate a wonderfully healthy lifestyle that's...Natural,
