State of the Garden
It is nice to have lettuce in January without a cold frame, but the trees could use a couple of good snowfalls.
Snow pea shoots, kale, carrots, spinach, lettuce, grape tomatoes, arugula, chard, (not shown), turnips, parsley, mint
How is it possible to feel lonely when the morning sun shines bright on lush gardens? What do we do, if we know we’re one of the lucky ones compared to most, and yet still feel some absence?
I find doing something for someone else (where both needed and welcomed or else it is not seva) helps remind me of my own presence.
I come home all too profoundly aware that these are war times and of the enormity of human suffering.
And, to my great good fortune, I came home to my own kitchen and made a savory lentil stew with whole grain rice garnished with the first fresh herbs from the garden (cilantro and garlic chives).
