FAWM 2010 Song #45: "The Gardener"


Seanye Warhol Begins His Journey Home And Comes To Appreciate The Earth

With his new map in hand, Seanye Warhol began the journey home. Soon after he began, he came upon a woman tending to a garden. She offered him some vegetables, but he politely declined. He asked her why, with all the adventure to be had in the world, she stayed here on her small farm, tending to her garden. She responded that she had been here ever since she was a child, and it was the thing she enjoyed most in the world.

He asked her if she had ever done any traveling. She responded that she had indeed seen the world, and it was a very lovely place. She also said, however, that all the sites in the world could never compare to the satisfaction from having a connection with the Earth. Seanye Warhol thought back to how much Mother Earth had helped him and realized the gardener might be right after all. He asked her what it was about gardening that she enjoyed so much. She said she couldn't really put it into words other than to say that there was a lot of beauty in it all. Seanye thought about that for a while, wished her well, and continued on his journey home...
