Daily Lectio Divina: I’ve put in gardens south of the fields, opened up a stream and planted trees

Repost of Episode 384

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re continuing our series on the ancient form of Chinese poetry called shan-shui, or Rivers-and-Mountains, using selections from The Mountain Poems of Hsieh Ling-yun.  Today we’re using a selection from “I’ve put in gardens south of the fields, opened up a stream and planted trees.”

You can heal here among these gardens,

sheltered from rank vapors of turmoil,
wilderness clarity calling distant winds.
