How is your Garden?

God trusts you.
He always has.
When I drowned as a child, I learned what it meant to lose breath — and later, what it meant to truly live again.
That experience began a lifelong conversation with God, one that continues to unfold in new ways each day.
As I prepare to release my new book, Our Bodies as the Garden of Eden, I find myself asking the same question God has asked me most of my life:

How is your garden?
Before the to-do lists and diagnoses, before the striving or the noise — how are you, really?
Are you thriving?
Are you resting?
Are you listening to your body, your spirit, your breath?
Your body isn’t just a temple where God dwells — it’s the Garden of Eden itself, the space where Heaven still longs to walk with humanity.
You are the sacred ground where love and life meet.
Maybe right now your garden feels lush, overflowing with joy.
Or maybe it feels dry, forgotten, heavy.
Wherever you are, it’s holy ground.
Because God hasn’t left your garden — He’s walking in it, waiting for you to notice His presence again.
Take a breath. Feel it. That’s Eden stirring within you.
This next book was born from that truth — that we were never meant to survive, but to flourish.
It’s an invitation to tend your inner garden, to see your body not as something to fix, but something to love.
So as we step toward launch day, I invite you to pause with me and ask:

How is your garden today?
May you find peace in your soil, joy in your breath, and the gentle presence of the Gardener walking beside you.
Our Bodies as the Garden of Eden is now available for preorder — a journey from healing to wholeness, from temple to garden, from surviving to flourishing.
With love and grace,
Nicholas
