worms and bugs and all…
Garden looks more like a jungle these days, time to do some serious pruning, it’s autumn, the chrysanthemums are almost finished with flowering, some repotting, some new seeds for the winter (it’s two seasons of gardening here in CA). How gardening is always so nourishing, feeding the soul with being connected to earth, nature and everything being alive, love it, worms and bugs and all 🙂
Like painting gardening is a wonderful way to connect with our true nature, stop thinking and just be….
Stop thinking, and end your problems.
What difference between yes and no?
What difference between success and failure?
Must you value what others value,
avoid what others avoid?
How ridiculous!
Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don’t care,
I alone am expressionless,
like an infant before it can smile.
Other people have what they need;
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about,
like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.
Other people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharper;
I alone am dull.
Other people have a purpose;
I alone don’t know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,
I blow as aimless as the wind.
I am different from ordinary people.
I drink from the Great Mother’s breasts.
(Lao Tse Tao)
