Let’s face it, the world is crazier than ever. The genocide in Gaza, the ice caps melting, the ebola virus, the strange world of politics and food and GMO’s, fracking all over, and now, Toledo, Ohio not having any water. It’s enough to make you want to run and hide, except there is no where to go. So these days, I am all about creating beauty and being surrounded by things that bring me a certain feeling of joy and bliss.
This Summer has been heavenly in my little corner of the world, and as we float towards Autumn, like some of the crimson leaves that I see drifting from the trees, it’s all so beautiful.
The tomatoes have started to ripen and we’re eating them like bandits enjoying the bounty. Which makes up for the disappointment of last year with all those weeks of constant rain and not one tomato.
I have the feeling that it’s all a yin and yang thing, and the iChing that I just now consulted said that is correct 🙂
The zinnias and cosmos that I planted late, on purpose to feed the bees, are blooming magnificently.
As I sit here looking out my window to all the flowers that are colored with the light of the sun, the bees and butterflies are all gathering to feed. Everything feels perfect. Which is why I plant flowers and food for me and them – because more bliss in these crazy times is what I can contribute to keep the balance. At least in myself.
I stumbled onto a short little clip that Isabella Rossellini made, about the bees: take a moment out of your crazy day to watch it.
Om Shanti.
I hope every one got it – don’t buy food that is not organic and please plant some wildflowers today.
sounds like you had great summer. missed you in june. fla not panning. on my way back. take care
@Kaveen: That is so funny! Lots of Love to you.
@Linda: Always nice to hear from you Linda!
I really didn’t write this post to be positive, which is something that I don’t like anyways. I am getting a bit tired with all the euphemisms that are being used these days, aren’t you? But when I am in my garden or just by myself enjoying life, it is hard to think about anything but that!
Sadhvi,
I love your picture of Kwan Yin in the zinnias.
Was that a selfie?
My best to you and Sakshi,
Kaveen
Oh my god that was awesome!
Love,

Thank you Beloved!
Was thinking of you today… got a book from Dhanyam and he sent a lovely Osho photo gift too — one from the same series as you gave me!
Love.

Hi Sadhvi,
I enjoyed your post. Thanks again for sharing your plants with me. The blackeyed susans are lovely and the littlest plant is now huge!
Thanks again,
