Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener in his backyard, 1993. "Urban shaman, Leslie Goldman, communes with God in his Magic Garden, coaxing healing from herbs and plants and writes verse blossoms that lift the heart, touch the soul, and somehow gladden the wounded spirit weeping in us.² --Rabbi Zalman M. Schacter-Shalomi "Your words, your poems, inituitively, inherently speak an old new voice from deep within  our tradition and our faith.   You share your very personal dialogue with God, and touch the deeply personal in each of us.²"  --Rabbi Stan Levy, B¹nai Horin Community.	Guava flowers on Mother's Day  at the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community, Mother's Day, 2004 Now is the time for worship to again take to the hills, to the valleys, to our own backyards, that cities turn green of their own evolution. Mother tells me, "Now is the time for worship to become We ship, for rituals and ceremonies to resound renewed with soil on  our knee caps.  Now is the time for new industry, as women and men and children grow again in Mother's simple ways. "Share the wealth!" her trees tell me, dropping an abundance of ripe guavas  on our back yard carpet of soil. I fall to my knees in glee to reach for more of this tasty stuff. This nature contact balances my urge to be licked all over this summer afternoon like  a new born kitten. I leave Mother for an hour.  I return again.  The Tree repeats again,"Share the wealth!"  gathering more Pineapple guavas than I can feed myself.  My heart and mind well fed feeling bonded wells up with joy. Will you receive these gifts with me this summer from a tree we have cultivated with love, pruning, and manure? Will you receive the gifts that Mother freely gives to everyone who claims her as their Mother. Will you come and play in our Enchanted Garden?
