Good morning!
We have a nice Sunday morning with a crisp, clear, and calm atmosphere, with birds singing in the bright sunlight, especially after our sitting and service. I have been thinking of changing the grass area to a veggie garden and ground cover. I used to use plastic to cover grass so it would die, but I found a plum tree’s branches are dead above the plastic; probably their root system had died.
I transplanted golden creeping Jenny on some grass-removed spots recently, and found it dried and dead, not well watered beyond the fence. We must take care of plants – seeded, sprouted, transplanted, etc. – with water, taking all factors into consideration. The above cases show us how to live and practice successfully – great perspective/knowledge and minute care-taking/action.
Our fallacy and failure are due fundamentally to the macro-micro fallacy and failure. Guns and nukes, for instance, are good only in individual micro-management, but not good in total macro-maintenance and perennial perspective. Isms, ideologies, beliefs, and convictions must be micromanaged and mindfully maintained in every concrete daily aspect and action, if real.
Our practice must be wholly wholesome, all-inclusive, healthy and happy for each as well. It is like two wings or wheels, inseparably functioning fully and freely, flying far and running remotely. The triple heart/mind of great, mature, and joyful heart/mind makes the triple body/world great, mature, and joyful with limitless life, light, liberation, and love.
