Sense: Love Forming


Was visiting the Treei site to develop a sense of where i am at meta-physically as i work toward changing my approach to life, the universe and everything. I am howdtdoors with the laptop, listening to the birds argue over ripe cherries. A peaceful summer day.

The irrigation water is on, so those thirsty plants in the lower garden will get their fill of a good root soak. The eleven days off, three days on schedule takes some getting used to but the plants seem to be growing well - especially in areas where care and love is spent. There has been much weeding and the planting of the beans, the third sister.

I grow weeds rather well, but other people have their space under their control. This is an experiment to observe how nature does things in contrast to how people do things - i work as an agent of chaos hybridizing what nature and people are doing. The tallest corn is the corn competing with the weeds. Interesting.


Community is the circle of friends that you hang out with - we haven't quite developed the concept of living in one space - everybody needs their own space while dealing with their personal ravages of time. Spend time chasing a dream - everybody has their own different approach. The landscape of life is changing rapidly - we need to be doing what we want to be doing when the specific changes come to pass. Nobody knows exactly what those changes are. All we have is our imagination of how we think it's supposed to be.

I think of myself as a member of the supporting cast in a huge scale movie of Gaia's Life. Time builds empires and then destroys them at every scale imaginable throughout the cosmos. Being able to sit outside and watch the squirrels play - it seems they have no problem with the sense of the term community. I wonder how fungi sense each other in their communities. Dr. Lenny harvested agraricus mushrooms from the lawn the other day and found that the largest one was a portobello. It pays to scatter the remnants of cleaning back into areas that support the colonization of spores. Just a minor role in the larger role play of life.

So sense love forming is Dr. Lenny getting back to ground by being in touch with nature and natural systems. Half the birds suddenly left the cherry feed fest, i clapped my hands thrice and another major pack left. They will return because the cherries are ready and the tree is vastly tall. An enjoyable balance, as we get to feast on cherries too. The trick is to learn how to put up some cherries now, so that we can enjoy them when we can't grow them next winter. Time calls to get on to other things.
