to be vitally important for patients with chronic neurological diseases: music and gardens.”
“I work like a gardener,” the great painter Joan Miró wrote in his meditation on the proper pace
for creative work. It is hardly a coincidence that Virginia Woolf had her electrifying epiphany
about what it means to be an artist while walking amid the flower beds in the garden at St. Ives.
