terms, gently

you may enter the garden. you may leave the garden. either, whenever.

you may linger at a bed, walk the path twice, or turn back at the gate. you may open a page, close a page, return next season, never return. none of it is held against you.

the garden asks only that you be gentle with what is here while you are here, and that you take with you only what you have gathered honestly.

this is the whole of the arrangement.
