Megan's Garden: a Study in Meditation and Healing : This photo series focuses on my friend Megan, who, like myself, is challenged by chronic pain and fatigue. Our conditions forced us both to give up careers that had been central to our identities. Despite her pain Megan has been creating an amazing garden in a huge sloping yard she has at her home in Pittsford, NY. Megan isn’t a gardener...she’s an artist working outdoors in stone and plants. Like me, Megan has a bit of a problem with sleep. You may find her out working in her garden at three in the morning. She will be huffing and groaning with pain, but she will keep going. And little by little, the garden takes shape. Megan and I began relating to each other in a more intimate way through this project. She was very self-conscious at first, worrying about how she would look. So I had her just go about her gardening while I took other images. Then I went back to her when she lost track of me. After a while, I downloaded the images onto my laptop and showed them to her. She was thrilled with them and immediately saw the value of what I was doing. It is healing — both for us, and for others who might see this work and know the story behind it. For Megan, gardening is a spiritual experience, a meditation, a way to connect to the life force within her and around her. Like Megan’s garden, photography is a form of meditation for me, a means of coping with the stresses and anxieties of my life. As I learn to see the world through the camera lens, I find moments of peace and spiritual growth.

All are endemic to eastern and central North America. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming from early to late summer. The genus name is from the Greek echino, meaning "spiny," due to the spiny central disk. It has a faint aromatic smell, with a sweetish taste, leaving a tingling sensation in the mouth. Echinacea species are growing up to 140 cm in height. They have erect stems that in most species are unbranched. The leaves are normally hairy with a rough texture. Some species have linear to lanceolate shaped leaves, and others have elliptic to ovate shaded leaves. The flowers are collected together into single, rounded Heads that terminate long peduncles. The phyllaries, or bracts below the flower head, are persistent and number 15–50. The phyllaries are produced in 2–4 series. The receptacles are hemispheric to conic in shape. The paleae have orange to reddish purple ends, and are longer than the disc corollas. The corollas are pinkish, greenish, reddish-purple or yellow and have tubes shorter than the throats. The pollen is normally yellow in most species, but usually white in E. pallida. The three or four-angled fruits, called cypselae, are tan or bicolored with a dark brown band distally. Like all asteraceae, the flowering structure is a composite inflorescence, with purple (rarely yellow or white) florets arranged in a prominent, somewhat cone-shaped head — "cone-shaped" because the petals of the outer ray florets tend to point downward (are reflexed) once the flower head opens, thus forming a cone. The common name "cone flower" comes from the characteristic center “cone” at the center of the flower. Echinacea angustifolia was widely used by the North American Plains Indians for its general medicinal qualities.</p> </body> </html>
