After my retreat, I realized I need to actually plan a few more mindful activities in the day- a form of practice. Gardening!, I thought, since I love to do it and need to do it anyway. I'll just be more intentional about doing it mindfully.
Day 1- I prune carefully, and then handpick dead leaves one by one. Very mindful.
Day 2- I get out the Round-up and spray weeds, carefully- one at a time.
Mindfully poisoning the planet and killing beings, one at a time. I have a long way to go.
