The Nature of Gardening

One must truly forget his ideas about himself and world when he tends to his garden. There is no room for the discriminating mind to like or dislike some part of the work. The earth and the plants themselves dictate what is possible and what is necessary.

Yet you have the power to create living creatures this way. These creatures will in turn be destroyed to sustain another being.

All things in life can be approached this way. When you see the situation, leave behind who you were a second ago and be reborn in the moment. Thus the right action will present itself, and you will gain limitless power.

That's all for today. Nothing special to report from garden: it is cold and progress has been slow.
