Perfecting the art of the living contradiction.

Farming taught me how to live

Wait for the right season and the right conditions;

Plant your seeds;

Nurture them;

Water them- not too much and not too little - just enough;

Prune what is withered or no longer needed;

If your first try fails, as it often does,

Give life another chance-

Plant again!

Pay attention and do what is needed when it's needed;

No plant thrives in isolation,

So plant companions and encourage beneficial relationships;

Let the plant go to seed so that new life can start again;

Give thanks;

Enjoy and share the bounty.

That's how you grow and spread beautiful things,

Within, and all around you.


Peace
