The Gardener
E/O Drabble Challenge, word: stiff
Summary: There were many ways in which Castiel had envisioned his purpose. This hadn't been one of them.
He stood up, straightening his stiff back, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the smell of rich soil. After an eternity of clearing the earth from weeds he'd finally started to plant, and it made him feel closer to God than he had for ages. Watching the buds and blossoms filled him with peace, anchored him in the here and now. His need to save the whole creation seemed childish and presumptuous seeing how everything was changing without cease. He smiled, suddenly sure that this was what Joshua had learned from God himself, while he tended His garden above.
