There is nothing on God's green earth much better than plants, seeds, and dirt to ease the heart, mind, and soul. It wears one out while at the same time rejuvenating.
Requires simple, direct focus--no mind wandering here--along with a leap in faith that "this hot and dirty work" will somehow be rewarded. Oh, you can water a little and hope and pray; but, truly, once the seed's in the soil, it's up to Mother Earth.
Thus, this dirt digging becomes a simple act of faith.
An act of faith so simple that it may be akin to what we all felt as children. Remember how the simplest action had a reward? How the ordinary was extraordinary? Fill in your own memories here.
So, I guess I'm saying that I played in the dirt like I did as a child today. And, if you haven't done the same in a while, I recommend it.
