The Garden Tour Affair: A Gardening Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
The Garden As Therapy PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO REALIZE the earth’s pain. There is no doubt about it when world leaders talk as seriously about global warming as they do about potential war in the Middle East. Closer to home, many others are becoming concerned, and are doing something about it. A growing movement in both therapy and religion focuses on earth-based spirituality and therapeutic healing. Prestigious organizations such as Harvard, and religious icons such as Catholic bishops and certain priests and ministers, are taking up this issue, in spite of scattered critics intimating earth worship. But the movement is very grounded: At its heart is the belief that mankind is alienated from the earth and needs to return to its bosom. Both the psychologists and the theologians involved maintain that people can no longer “feel”—can no longer give and receive affection. Some cite this vacuum of meaning in people’s lives, shopping, frenetic activity, and a constant appetite for scandal as by-products of this condition.
