Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, Adrian. Yes! The tree lovers are all announcing themselves here in response to this post. It's great to know how many of us there are!
Bill, I love the way you write. I can feel the transmission of your state, and feel your own experience all at the same time. Keep publishing, my friend, the words can be a boon to many. Jon
The garden is the easiest place to lose a self that never existed in the first place. Earth, sky, flowers, fragrances, thorns, weeds, all just take over the sense-gates and it's difficult to NOT feel like part of Everything in the midst of that. It's also clear that no one makes the garden grow, the body of the gardener is just one additional factor in the way the garden grows. It will continue to grow when I am long gone.
This was wonderful, Bill.
I find it so easy to relate to your words here.
Maybe in part because I too am a lover of trees.

Thank you, Jon. I’d love to hear how this resonates (or doesn’t) for you, my friend with a chicken coop and fruit trees, garden, etc!
