New life

June 4th, 2011 · No Comments · In my garden

Nine seeds arrived home in the soil in our garden this morning. They’ve made a long journey. I feel like them – my fingers arrived in the soil with them – it’s been a long journey.
Today, I brought in the hose and hooked her up. Then, I blessed the water. I was glad to acknowledge [...]

A gift from Nature

June 2nd, 2011 · No Comments · In my garden

Last night, as we were finishing dinner my eye caught a bunch of bright relections on the leaves outside the front window. It was as if it had just rained and everything was glistening. Only, it hadn’t rained – couldn’t have rained.
Joyce and I were drawn outside to see what was up. There, holding firmly [...]

May 30th, 2011 · No Comments · In my garden

Before I go any further, I should say that I’m reporting my adventure in co-creative gardening. What works for me may not be appropriate for you. Could be there are clues in here that you will find helpful.
Today’s gardening was accomplished from the big leather chair in our living room where I do thinkin – [...]

Sacred Garden

May 28th, 2011 · No Comments · In my garden, The new paradigm

We are at it again!
This time, Nature has proposed an all-or-nothing gardening adventure on our 25′x30′ fenced plot. That means, I surrender – Nature runs the show. Our idea is for me to experience and understand the new paradigm at a new level. I can ask all the questions I like, but it’s Nature’s Way [...]

From a weed’s persective

March 20th, 2011 · No Comments · In my garden

This morning, lying in bed, I imagined myself a weed. A little one with tiny purple flowers like the ones blooming in my yard. Here’s what I noticed.
I am not alone. I’m surrounded by beings just like me – plants of my type and other types – living together  - touching – moving together in [...]

I forgot to ask

February 15th, 2011 · No Comments · In my garden

It just dawned on me – I’m kinda slow sometimes – that I forgot to ask Nature whether or not She wanted me to co-create a garden here. I got caught up in trying to figure out what kind of garden She wanted – and I wanted – and how to make it happen.
Nature obliged [...]

Why Is My Plant Dying?

March 19th, 2010 · No Comments · In my garden

We’re pretty attached to our plants. That makes us even more attached to the idea that we’re pretty good stewards and caretakers of our plants. When a plant is dying, it hurts.
I ask myself what I did wrong that caused this plant’s death. I’m master of the universe after all. I ask if there’s anything [...]

Seed Launch

March 15th, 2010 · No Comments · In my garden, The new paradigm

Rudolph Steiner wrote that for plants, male and female energy do not join in the flower, but rather are activated in the ground before each seed germinates. Anastasia, in the Ringing Cedars series, teaches gardeners to infuse their energy into each seed before planting, so that each plant perfectly reflects the intentions of the sower.

The Bottom Line

January 25th, 2010 · No Comments · In my garden

In consciously communing with Nature, Man communes with the Divine thought. – Anastasia, Book 6
If joy is what you’re looking for – if connection with God is your deepest desire – if you want to know how things really work – the answer is in the garden. Or in the woods. Or in the field.
If [...]

True Gardening

January 19th, 2010 · No Comments · In my garden

“Your little brother, my sons, is looking after God’s creations – the trees and the grass – they are the Creator’s own materialized thoughts. In treating them with love and conscious awareness, your brother is thereby communicating with God.”  - From The Ringing Cedars Series, Book Six
In a garden which we love, this is the [...]
