…believe me; I am old, and there's truly nothing other to do with life than celebrate the fact that it exists.

Exuding peace, love, and natural wonder, Marc Hamer's soul-fortifying memoir alternates between stories from his adventurous youth and his current adult life as a self-described "oddball." Throughout it all is an inspiring appreciation of small joys: from slugs and seeds to a cozy light rain and the smile of a stranger. His "life lived in gardens" offers readers a powerful respite from worldly woes…and lots of wise philosophical advice for living simply as part of nature. Enjoy!
