I can't help but feel the similarity of this impermanent art endeavour to our own daily lives and the small (or big) actions we take. A few thoughts on how we can look at it in so many ways. Our striving and daily efforts really are works of art that few will see yet have an impact on those who do. Beautiful yet fleeting opportunities to make a difference.... Detached to the outcome when creating or taking action as they are erased in the passing of a day or literally in this video by the rising of the tide. Creating the art anyway...making the efforts without expectation or reward. Everyday we are given a new canvas on which to create anew. Everyday we are new. What we do is impermanent but the effect they have is lasting. We can decide on the type of creation we make each day. See more

Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing... and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places. Frances Hodgson Burnett - The Secret Garden. Arthur Bianchini - Blooming Garden.

The timely dialogue and comments on Gillian's post is what's really helpful to unravel this current damaging narrative that is very much a part of our culture. If it doesn't show up here please go to her page Super You and read them. It is not a black and white issue. It takes considerable effort to have this dialogue and for that 'Kudos to you Gillian Goerzen!'.

Gratitude for the opportunities this earth school is here to teach us
