I live to walk in our garden. Rain or shine. It lures me out of bed.. wondering what is blooming, what has stretched, what is ready to leave the plant, who feeds on what? Will the zinnias ever burst? What's taking the watermelons so long to grow? Will the potatoes rot before we get them out of the ground? How does a winter squash grow so big??
Life
When we planted ourselves on this land 20 years ago we dreamed of growing food and becoming sustainable. We didn't dream of babies and jobs and responsibilities. We had no idea life would be filled with so much. Today our daughter graduated from high school. I am beyond feelings of how our life has shaped up. My garden is beautiful. We have grown so much more than I could have ever thought possible the day we planted ourselves. We were such children then.. and love grew it all..
Awakening
One dies as one lives... Once that starts to fall Into place, then the question is how you use the moment to moment experiences of your life as a vehicle for awakening.
