what is behind the Eye of the Mystery?

continuing with Entangled Life.   How multidimensional everything is…and so much so,  this Earth beneath Us.  Which we experience as a kind of  Surface,  but is something else entirely.   Awareness of the Energetics  increases in the Garden.  

 

there was a truly Beauty FULL newsletter today from the Butte County Master Gardeners.  I wanted to share that.   But my own energy won't  do it justice.  Another time.  But just to say…as a journal entry:   There are now 14 distinct gardens to visit at the Master Gardner Demonstration Garden,  Patrick Ranch,  Durham California.    " They began in the fall of 2011.  The overall masterplan has been fulfilled. "     Durham is between here and Chico.  32 minutes.  

i love those words…."the overall masterplan has been fulfilled".

    It’s so heartening to read about such dedicated gardeners. We have Maine Master Gardeners here – they plant a section of our community garden to donate food to Harvest for the Hungry.

    I took the course here in Maine and am a Master Gardener. In order to remain one- I have to do a certain number of volunteer hours each year Most of mine were teaching classes. My co Master Gardener, Patty mostly volunteers to tend the gardens of elderly folk…I was working so the classes worked best for me.And I discovered I COULD stand in front of 30 to 60 people an talk………AMAZING.

    “we experience as a kind of Surface, but is something else entirely.”
    This made me think of my son telling me about mushrooms. That it’s a single entity that covers most of the land underground and all we see are its sex organs. That last part made me laugh, but the more I thought about it, I realized that essentially that’s what most fruits and vegetables are. And all flowers.
    I, too, am haphazard. About everything, especially the garden these days.
