Leaves of Healing

Matt Miller’s debut essay collection, Leaves of Healing: A Year in the Garden, journeys through the garden year and the church year together to uncover how life in both realms can help us rediscover our bodies and our sense of time, thereby helping us reach toward the sense of wholeness we all seek. Following the cycles of physical and liturgical seasons from a residential permaculture garden in the Ozarks, each meditation combines reflections on labor in the soil with investigations of spiritual insights into the paradoxically timeless yet time-rooted realities of our eternal souls.
