LXXII (72) Boil Water

As we March forward into a new season, new month, and a new year. What do we take with us, and what are we ready to leave behind? I don’t know if we can ever let the past go, but maybe we can let go of whatever’s been holding us back and make room for some new flowers to grow. Now is the time for planting and tending, organizing and sending. I don’t know what crops are gonna grow this year, but I’m super appreciative of what I’ve been building so far.

According to my father, “a watched pot never boils.” Not entirely true, but it does take a long time if you sit there and watch it. Trust me I did it, to prove my father wrong. It’s harder than you’d think, and time does seem to dance differently when you’re watching. Maybe that’s how I learned how to time travel, it’s all a matter of where you put your focus. What will be, will be, no matter how well we plan, or carefully plant our seeds. So there really ain’t no use in agonizing over what will or won’t happen, it’ll reveal itself eventually, and then that revelation will just lead to evermore questions.

Right now, I’m waiting on a few things. But while I’m waiting, I’m trying to focus on the other things that are in my control to do right here right now, and maybe look for more opportunities to plant in my garden. And I’m not looking at anybody else’s garden with envy, just admiration and curiosity. What can you teach me? This is the best time there’s every been. How are you feeling? Do you know that this could be the best time for you too? Right now. It’s a choice. Consider joining me, I’d love to visit you here. I spent a lot of time waiting for this moment, and now that I’m here, I laugh at how long it took, but appreciate the journey.

I don’t know if this makes sense. But consider this an official invitation. Right now has always been the best time, to tend your garden, to live, to grow, to learn, and to share what you know.
