"There is always going to be obstacles. The thing is you don't let those obstacles determine where you are going." --Pearl Fryer
Pearl Fryer's Unusual Legacy
Located on a short and quiet side street of the main road entering Bishopville, the garden sits on the left side of the road and a bank of pine trees lends shade and depth at the back of the property. An archway leads visitors to the left side of the property. It was through this archway that I stepped onto Fryer's garden for the first time. In life-sized letters cut into the grass and planted with red begonias were the words "Love, Peace and Goodwill". I felt like I had come home and tears filled my eyes and my heart began to heal from grief. There is a spiritual awakening that one feels upon stepping into this sacred space created by the union of a humble man of God and the plants that he communes with each day.
BE THE CHANGE
Some projects, like topiary, may be years in the making. What is a long-term project that you can begin today that might inspire someone on their spiritual journey years from now.
