The world is chaotic right now and I am a part of it.
Spring for a gardener is always a busy time.
This year is no different in that regard.
What’s different is my focus.

As the world scurries about, My focus has been to be in that moment between breaths. Inhale, just be, then release.

I found myself in one of these moments while attacking that seemingly endless ‘to-do’ list.

Finally getting the opportunity to pot up some plant starts that have been sitting in a radio flyer red wagon for weeks, I found in my hands a sequoia redwood tree.

A cute 10 inch tall pre-sapling of a tree.

A majestic and world renowned giant of a species I felt in awe holding a baby in my hands.

I gently released it from the growers pot and massaged its roots. I whispered to it as I do most plants. But this whisper came from a place of mystical reverence.

‘Tell me your secrets’ I said to the youngling.

The reply came from a deep voice beyond this place and time.

‘I have no secrets’ was the direct answer.

The thought continued, ‘Everything is known’.​+++https://rayviolet.blogspot.com/2022/05/redwood-and-dandelion-yellow...
