Pathway up
They were overhung by several small trees, red Bottle Brushes and a yellow Grevillea. It became our favourite hide-away, a retreat, a place that put everything else in perspective.
There was only one path to the niche and to get there you had to step off the safety of a smooth verandah on to a rough dirt incline. It was an obstacle course of rocks and unstable pebbles.
But you can keep your eye on the garden above you because there is a pathway going up.
It reminds me of another pathway...
“I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except by Me.” John 14:6 Jesus is our life-saving highway going up.

The
new garden niche was on a steep slope. You started at the bottom and
climbed stepping stones to reach its topmost point. When you got there, you
rested on a seat beside a large urn full of Hyacinths. You looked down over
coloured pots growing herbs and blue Japonica Irises, white Christmas Lilies
and golden Gladioli.
