Intention for a beautiful planet



In my humble opinion, gardening is one of the highest form of using our mind in its most proper and positive ways (I would like to call it intention building). The skill relies on precise thought to bring about the most fabulous of results. It's the king of results, benefited by the attention and thoughtful intention to bring about a complex mixture. Like a chemist who combines just the most precision intentions to replicate a desired result, the gardener is forever in the quest of the perfect combination. It could be the thought of which weed to pull or which plant to save which is a key example of this almost holy act of time spent where undivided attention creates a future. Incredible and picture worthy or just run of the mill ordinary.
Sometimes you’re on that gardening path and you feel drawn to keep on with the action to basically help the planet, that's all...it just feels like the most natural and perfect thing to be doing. You just feel like you have to keep doing it. It's addictive to know that your intentions could be felt for quite a long time, and even to be shared with people who might appreciate how unique a well maintained garden is to take in and appreciate. How nice it is to see intention mixed with time to create an experience of a special garden.
It is never over...keep on gardening!
