Buddha Garden

I found a new place for my Buddha statue in the garden.

From behind him… this is what he sees:
the vegetable garden, the raised beds, and the house.

It feels like the right kind of presence to have here — quiet, steady, protective.
Not a decoration, not a statement… just a calm witness to daily life.

A small reminder that building a sanctuary is not always dramatic.
Sometimes it’s simply: soil, water, silence, and returning to the moment.
