“You can grow so many things in the garden of your mind, all you have to do is think and they’ll grow.”
-Mister Rogers
I feel so fortunate to have grown up watching Mister Rogers Neighborhood. I remember desperately wanting to go travel to where he lived so that I could be on his show and meet all of his “neighbors”. What a truly kind, warm, remarkable, caring and inspiring human being he was.
And the gifts he taught continue to teach the world to this day… living on long after he has gone: to be inquisitive, to be understanding, to be imaginative, to be forgiving, to be compassionate, to be inclusive…
My heart swelled with gratitude as my eyes swelled with tears when I saw this.
Inspired by this wonderful song, I illustrated a little Inkling for a family who could really use some tenderness right about now.
What will you grow in the garden of your mind?
XO,
TB
