On a recent stroll around the gardens at Joy Creek Nursery, I was struck by the gorgeous iris. Seed pods from the previous year remained among this season's flowers. Fresh green foliage sprung up from a nest of brown foliage. Gardens teach us so many lessons about the fleeting nature of time, the changing of seasons, life, death, renewal. Our time to play upon the world's stage becomes shorter with each passing hour. As James Taylor says, "Since we're on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride."

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
Any fool can do it, there ain't nothing to it.
Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill.
But since we're on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.
The secret of love is in opening up your heart.
It's okay to feel afraid, but don't let that stand in your way.
Cause anyone knows that love is the only road.
And since we're only here for a while, might as well show some style.Give us a smile.
Isn't it a lovely ride?Sliding down, gliding down,
try not to try too hard,it's just a lovely ride.
Now the thing about time is that time isn't really real.
It's just your point of view, how does it feel for you?
Einstein said he could never understand it all.
Planets spinning through space, the smile upon your face, welcome to the human race.
Some kind of lovely ride. I'll be sliding down, I'll be gliding down.
Try not to try too hard, it's just a lovely ride.
Isn't it a lovely ride? Sliding down, gliding down,
try not to try too hard, it's just a lovely ride.
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time.
