Healing from Mother Earth
June 29, 2008 1:39 pm Friends and HealingSunday and it is one day until the end of June. It is mild outside with periodic cloud cover and a gentle breeze. What a perfect day to work in the garden and collect the veggies that have come to season. A cool breeze and a comfortable day to attend to the garden are rare in
There is a taste of the earth present in each veggie. It is not the essence dirt, only turnips taste like purple dirt. But it is a connection to the spirit of the earth that makes you feel healthy with each bite. So tonight we will have a supper of fresh potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes and squash. Water melon and cantaloupe are on the vine but not quite ready.
I went to the Farmers Market yesterday and found a cantaloupe. What a lovely summer evening it will be. No recollection of bipolar, just taking in the sweetness of the day and country living. Healing of the body and spirit from Mother Earth.

As you notice every detail of the inward and outward beauty around you, you capture each moment. The name of my blog is “Every Moment Matters.” And that is exactly why. I am so glad you have learned to hold those moments close to your heart. Later, when it becomes hard to do that, you may be able to draw strength from posts such as these. Way to go, Annie. xoxo

“No recollection of bipolar.”
This on its own is magic and joy.

Annie,
About six months ago, a neighbor of mine (who lives down the block) began planting a vegetable garden in boxes her handyman had built on her front lawn and on the parkway near the street.
This is either her second or third crop, but she called today to ask if I would come by and pick up lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, and sorrel.
I brought all of these wonderful vegetables and herbs back in a paper bag, and tomorrow night we’ll begin eating homegrown food.
This was my first year of gardening and planting flowers. Next year it will be vegetables.

having a vegetable garden is the one unequivocal thing I like about living where I live right now…
organic veggies harvested no more than 10 minutes before eating them…nothing like that in the world!!

“There is a taste of earth present in each veggie . . .” oh, what words! In reading my favorite blogs, I am feeling we are enjoying the bright sunny days. Your right, no bipolar just nature is surrounding us.
