After the fire, the garden
After the fire, the garden. The late summer calls me. it ain’t linear y’all! We weave in and out of the slipstream until we are able to abide in the contradiction of opposition. I moved a monster of a rock today! It felt soooo good! I leveraged and sweated and positioned and sweated and repositioned. I pushed myself beyond my conceivable strength. The truth is that I was triggered. So I dug in deeper and worked it out. I didn’t blame. I didn’t shame. I stayed with the uncomfortable feelings. I’ve done rock work for years. I inherited a garden of rocks and maples, so I spend some of my days in stewardship to the elements of earth and wood. A decade ago, I spent my Saturdays on Rock Crew at Mount Madonna Center. Three years. Moving rocks. Building walls. Building temples under the terse supervision of Baba Hari Dass. At some point, you build your own sacred space. It’s all perfection. Enjoy the bounty. Dance in the fire. Everything we need is already here. All the while, I ask…….Does your yes serve the balance? #fire #earth #5elements #grace #babaharidass #elementwisdomcards #stemwomen #rock #sacredconnection #japanesemaple #landscape #hardscape
