Here's looking at you, kid

A secret garden in the middle of the city; a place of refuge for Ana's Hummingbirds, Redtail Hawks, and USF's Jesuit Community. A place of reflection overlooking the Golden Gate. A place where a 56 year old Jesuit priest and professor of art and architecture gardens, both physically and metaphorically, contemplating the seasons, change, beauty, ambiguity, and meaning in the midst of a complex city and an equally complicated life.

This blog is about life in dialogue with a garden, a city, a university, a faith and faith in general.

Very nice image inluded in your posting! Does your garden attract an abundance of bees? We are noticing a scarcity of bees in our Walnut Creek garden.

The Jesuit Garden is a lovely place to visit.

Stan: lots of bumblebees, but not as many honey bees as years ago. I'm told that in olden days, there was specific lone mountain honey.

Is that a chicken??? I mean a free-range one, of course.
