An Abundance of Begonias
Yesterday I found myself contemplating prachurya–abundance.
In this atmosphere of incessantly being told how much more we should want, it can be hard to recognize sufficiency, much less abundance.
As a spiritual practice, I think being able to experience abundance with what we already have can both provide joy and empower generosity.

Almost the last of everything but greens.

Red and Blue
That kind of day.

State of the Garden (You Can See the Teeth Marks)
I cut off the gnawed parts, diced the rest, and put it in the freezer. One day in snowy winter, I will thaw it and cook some warm for winter soup or stew with beans and grains and possibly greens.

State of the Garden
At last, after seven years of being just an apparently invasive vine, the grape kiwi is fruiting. The squirrels and birds will get most, but I am getting some.
I am reminded, by my hopefully tending the vine for years without fruit, of the power of perseverance and patience. Something like yoga practice.

State of the Garden
If I had more space for planting, I would grow enough beans to eat green and share plentifully in summer and also have enough for dried and frozen beans through the winter.
This year I ate and shared fully most of the summer, but don’t have much for storage. Good thing I can buy food.
