story myth philosophy

The stories we tell - or believe - create the world we experience

would you believe me if I told you that the trees in the forest help each other, that there is a story of symbiosis that surrounds us, that through the pavement emergent life patiently reclaims her relationship with the son.

Philosophy is hypothesis
and it's time for us each to bring our philosophy into awareness so that we can test them in our gardens and relations.
tend the soil and the plants with these emerging, living philosophies hidden in your thoughts and actions, relations and words and adjust them until your grandchildren's grandchildren can continue to garden in that way

don't rush
this life is a series of perpetual begins
so begin now with the humus of life that we find ourselves in with the words and actions of parents and billboards, memories and dreams,
grow a garden in the process of refining your philosophies
so that our living increasingly sustains and promotes life

there is a way
a way for us each to live appropriately within our lives governed by the natural laws that we are able to learn through all that sustains our life. As we listen to our gardens the waters, plants, animals, wind, and sun become teachers that draw out the philosophy embedded in our living so that we may become better to decide

find patience
slow yourself
and listen
