acceptance
6 more weeks of winter weather...
This is an opportunity to pour through more seed catalogues and get fanatical about my garden. Of course, the garden in my mind never seems to measure up to the one in my yard, but the human spirit is resilient and I will, each year, aspire to a higher order of vegetation. I have learned, by necessity, to see the beauty in imperfection. My feelings have become very genuine and it feels so good to accept things as they are. I have been able to be more accepting about people also – celebrating who they are, celebrating who I am, with all the rough edges and idiosyncrasies – how delightful and how freeing. Anyway, I will have a garden this year, as I do every year and it will produce organic veggies, but I doubt that it will ever be photo ready, but it will have earthworms doing their very important job and important nutrients from my compost pile and plenty of south Louisiana sunshine and I will be happy to harvest its bounty that will help to keep my family healthy. Anyway, I will spend the rest of winter dreaming and when spring comes, I will be accepting.
peace,
p.s.
