For my fellow gardeners out there... "When one assumes the position of the gardener—crouching or kneeling on the thin crust of soil that blankets our planet, head tilted into a bow as the eyes trace infinite cross-hatchings of textures, particles, mycelia, and microbes—we are in fact expressing something so inextricably hardwired into our DNA it predates conscious notions of the spiritual or the sacred. To lower ourselves and scrape at the soil is to allow our mother’s gravity to cradle us, and we show her our gratitude by seeding the continuum, the ongoing ritual of cultivation. These proto-religious prostrations are both gestures of love for our life-giver and offerings to the germinations that are to flower into our contemporary ideas of the 'future.'” From Cultivating A Rebellion, by Joe Phillips, available at https://www.humansandnature.org/cultivating-a-rebellion #gardenlove #gardens #gardeningisfun #climatechange #ligardens #ligarden #nofilters https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzvda-HHsjo7TTyfONrFKDaMLbUJi6bJSrJuzw0/?igshid=e2yfw57f8fkm
