The Man Who Watered His Lawn gently but powerfully fuses the raw emotions of a teenage love story into a blended tragedy of grief, sorrow, violence, philosophy and healing.It is a true story that is raw, caring and emotive, allowing the reader to enter the epicenter of the experience. The Man Who Watered His Lawn is a rare glimpse into the mind of a teenager riddled with confusion well into adulthood but with a message of hope and beauty.The life we lived until then was magnificent. We learned that joy, like the joy of the intellect, is to feel itself alive and the aim of love is to love, no more and no less. We were building our young lives one memory at a time, one joyous experience built onto another. Each experience filling our senses as pleasurably as happening upon a mountain meadow covered in dew at the dawn of a new day.It explores in heartbreaking reality the complex world of trauma and sorrow and contains the full atmosphere of human emotions, including the interconnected but misunderstood revelation of post-traumatic growth.It's within the confines of our internal garden that healing begins. The seeds of healing sprout into flowers and bring meaning to our lives, but it's only in expressing this meaning through love and gratitude and in healing our hurts that give power to them. This power informs our purpose, which gradually allows the waters of happiness to flow gently into the arid cracks of sorrows desert.
