I like thinking of myself as a gardener art monk practitioner!
In your secret place (your mountain garden), practice what your embodying, until it’s fully incarnate in yourself and others around you! Practice it towards plants, creatures, those nearby, until you know it in your limbs.
Receive the best seeds, plant them, and grow them in one another!
Righteousness (living up-right) is practical, as one mentor put it. It’s not esoteric, it’s something you learn to live out down here, in the broken eggshells we all are!
Ideals are nice, but embodied ethics-how we see and treat ourselves and one another in real time- changes the tone of your home and neighborhood, and if your blessed, even your whole city and nation!
“Know your seeds-that which you can add to the garden- then, find the good soil in yourself and others, and plant in Joy and Hope!” Trust The Gardener of the human soul to be constantly tending you, and, then, through you, what you’ve allowed to be tended internally, to bless those around you with those same seeds of becoming!
