Working Your Garden
You have been given the ground, seed, and tools with which to grow a garden. Take pride in your garden. Allow the garden to develop within you good feelings for all things alive and growing.
Don’t complain if the soil at times becomes dry or your rows appear a bit uneven. Some of the best gardens have been put together from uneven and irregular parts, whatever was available at the time. Work with the differences you sense in your garden taking pleasure in the sun or dark soil.
If while tilling you find hidden rocks, gently remove them and allow the water to flow into the gaps to reshape and smooth over.
When you find your garden is doing well, you may even wish to add a few varieties of colorful flowers at its edges and a bench where others may sit and enjoy your garden close up.
If an unexpected seed should fall into your garden, don’t pluck it out. Be grateful and allow it to grow. Celebrate the new addition to your garden as you witness the branches grow, expand, bear blossoms and finally fruit.
Share the fruit of your labor with all who would happen by or have need of it.
