									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You bring up a good point, I think for those of us in the West our first thoughts of a &#8220;garden&#8221; has more of a growing tomatoes and peppers type connotation (or it is for me anyway) and has a hint of toil rather than an old English garden for example &#8211; full of landscaped shrubs, flowers, fountains and a place to walk and meditate. </p>

Hearing it in the original language, with the cadence of the poetry as it was originally meant, was exciting!
