Exquisite design that draws our attention deeper. Thanks for sharing, Mary. Fractals dance with wonder. The entire fruit and veggie world is full of amazing patterns. "The Shape of Things" is a PBS video from way back that features six repeated patt…
Hi Marian, I don't know why my comments remain on my wall and not in the garden community. When I try to comment there, it says I must be a member to comment--and there I see myself on the page among the green and growing. Thanks for the site nurtur…
A place for those who find soul in gardening.
Gunilla Norris writes in Mystic Garden, "The garden is a place for learning patience, letting go of our need to control, and losing our expectations of how things will turn out in the end.
CHOCOLATE BILBY?! Adorable! Can they be real? I thought of the BEAUTY OF BROWN* in compost--and compost as a CS story.

Now, really, Matt. Will Barack be at Dunkin Donuts? He likes organic granola which my friend supplied whenever we went canvassing. Hail to science! How about the youtube link to the White House Garden and Mama Obama with kids.
How did you come to discover Creation Spirituality?
In 1988 to my complete surprise, still a mystery to me, a casual acquaintance sent me ORIGINAL BLESSING by Matthew Fox. The guy was a college friend of my husband's, stopping by our Indiana home with his family from D.C.On the basis of a brief discussion in which I mentioned "spirituality," he sent the book that his car pool buddy had been discussing. It was a time when I really needed to crack open some long-stored stuff from childhood. On pages 142-147 I discovered that in pain we can find stored energy, blessings, compassion, only if we embrace the stuff and carry it to a place called compassion. Compost is my image; transport the garbage to a productive place, but Matt used firewood; we pick it up and embrace it before we get the energy from it. It took ten more years for me to find a CS community when Matt went to speak in Lexington in '98. Than came several years community to the dynamic Louisville group from Indy, and in a few months I registered for a D. Min. at UCS, completing it in 04. The richness of Creation Spirituality has permeated and transformed every cell and every prayer since. Dancing GRATITUDE is the only fitting response! You know a Monarch caterpillar dissolves to a soupy liquid in the chrysalis--then flies!

Hi Rosie... Greetings - to you joyous person you! I am working on the details of the event and will get them up on the website real soon. I love the idea of children at the event... maybe you can spearhead a conversation and coordination of that!
Also there are others in this community interested in Buddhism... I suspect ther may be a comunity that starts for more focused conversation.
