LOVE never DIES- Our SOULS are GARDENS

  • Humans are great at running from truth, but in the garden you can’t hide. Life and death, vitality and decay - it’s all there happening before our eyes.
    The garden is a space defined not by it’s physicality but by the emotions it evokes and the connections it provokes. And the act of gardening can change the way we relate to the world around us for the better, giving us perspective and teaching us lessons about life.
    Do we choose to plant seeds of fear or love? Do we fertilize anger or harmony? Do we water the connections we have or let them die of thirst?
    Our souls are gardens. Our hearts are flowers. They need to be watered, tended, fertilized and loved. Happy gardening!
    Filmed in Riebeek West, South Africa.
    Featuring Corné Pretorius.
    All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

    Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth - that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.

    My dad was a great gardener. He loved it and just followed him around all day when I was a child. he died 2001, but I feel his love everyday when i tend my own garden and use his special book for advice. So I understand that lonely is subjective to each and every individual. Sometimes I am lonely needing someone or something to put me on the right path again, other times I am alone, but not lonely because I have a goal and purpose.
