another beautiful book as told by clarissa pinkola estes. although i think i expected a story about the metaphor of gardening and creativity, the actual story which dealt with both in a russian doll telling where one story lived inside another, was beautiful and profound. i highly recommend it.

yamherrera's review against another edition

El jardinero fiel, reúne relatos de pérdida, supervivencia y renacimiento bellamente entrelazados entre sí. Se centran en el tío de la autora, un campesino y refugiado húngaro destrozado por la guerra que comienza una nueva vida en el norte de Estados Unidos en los años 40’s - 50’s es narrado desde los ojos de una niña (La Dra Estés) que prestó atención a los ancianos de su viejo país y que creció para conservarlo todo en su memoria.
Les comparto algunos de los pasajes que me parecen más bellos:
“La nueva semilla es fiel. Arraiga con más fuerza en los lugares que están más vacíos”
“Todo termina, mi querido árbol, incluso las cosas buenas, pero siempre otra clase de vida viene después de la antigua, ya lo verás”
“La nueva vida llegará tanto si uno quiere como si no. Por mucho que cada vez se la intente arrancar, cada vez volverá a echar raíces y reimplantarse. La nueva semilla volara con el viento y seguirá llegando y ofreciendo múltiples ocasiones para el cambio del corazón, el regreso del corazón, el restablecimiento del corazón, y para volver a optar finalmente por la vida... de todo eso estoy segura”
C.P. Estés

New seed
is faithful.
It roots deepest
in the places
that are
most empty.
A little light in the dark. Short but powerful. Hopeful and deeply moving.
I will keep it close to me.
