Finding God In The Incompletion Of Love, Nature & City

Endurance

There will be days like this one. Not warm enough to fight. Not bright enough to shield from. But with incessant dripping acid drops that corrode every spot of your spirit. When every impatient word lands like burning shrapnel on your skin. And when every thoughtless action & every unreturned call comes back to scream up your sense of unworthiness. The rain makes it so there’s no peace to be…

Gardener

My garden is paradise without the snake or the man A love of green things finds me my clan It is my child, this tree digs my soul from aground, sets it free   My garden has lessons in seeds Of patience & acceptance and ordinariness in needs And now the rain is here now it sings harmonies of mud & water celebrates all living things   My garden is safe haven for insects, worms, stray…

ENDURANCE There will be days like this one. Not warm enough to fight. Not bright enough to shield from. But with incessant dripping acid drops that corrode every spot of your spirit. When every impatient word lands like burning shrapnel on your skin. And when every thoughtless action & every unreturned call comes back to scream up your sense of unworthiness. The rain makes it so there's no peace to be found in silence. The heat blinds & confuses your path. There is no stability in the grey. You must endure the instability. You must find yourself in the ragged breaths between sniffs. You must recognise yourself under the bedraggled clothes & the careworn spirit. You must seek yourself in the weeds that grow even as they weather indifference & a lack of welcome. You must make your place in a universe that says you don't belong. Because if you're still here, you have a part to play, a place to fill. Maybe your job is to carve it out. You must endure the labours. Maybe it's time to befriend the repressed feelings. Maybe the real journey is in the twisted paths you're knocked into. Maybe you are more than your wounds. Maybe you are something other than the burdens you carry. Maybe your validation of that is all that matters. What is endurance when you aren't defined by your worries or your labours?  Just breathing. 🎶: THE DROWNED GIRL: Yann Tiersen #theideasmithy #GreenParent https://www.instagram.com/p/CHWr_krptRD/?igshid=b2y4xg9ex5oz

GARDENER🌱 My garden is paradise without the snake or the man A love of green things finds me my clan It is my child, this tree digs my soul from aground,  sets it free My garden has lessons in seeds Of patience & acceptance and ordinariness in needs And now the rain is here now it sings  harmonies of mud & water celebrates all living things My garden is safe haven for insects, worms, stray feelings This green space is home to balance & healing They all go to earth Fire, water, air make balance the cycle of goodbye & rebirth --------------------------------------------------- My window garden began about a decade ago with an ajwain branch that I stuck into mud instead of in my food. It took joyful root & led me down a journey of learning about life from green things. I learn from experience what my plants need in water, air, sunlight & care. Most of all, my plants have taught me how to listen & watch & trust that life will find its own ways. If you'd like the company of a plant, you can start small & easy from your own kitchen. A pinch of mustard (rai), cumin (jeera) or fenugreek (methi) seeds buried in mud & watered every day will put up shoots in a week. Happy gardening! 🌱 --------------------------------------------------- 🎶: FIELDS OF GOLD: Sting #theideasmithy #GreenParent #gardening #gardenlove #plantsofinstagram #greenthumb #windowgarden #plants https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrFpY0p_12/?igshid=4x1h4mv1qjf1

A Garden of Abundance

A Garden of Abundance

I like the word ‘abundance’. It signifies so much more than wealth or any other kind of material possession. Abundance is not about owning at all. It is a state of mind, not a state of finances.

Feeling abundant is feeling like you are everything you need to be. The universe is being exactly as it should be . All things are okay and good and in harmony. It is a state of being undisturbed…
