Thinking that I was going to improve my giant Dahlias that grow in my front yard, last fall I dug them up so I could divide then and replant in better locations this spring. But last week when I inspected the box in the shed I had put them it, they were soft and rotting. Was I a bad gardener?
I realized that I should have looked up proper Dahlia care before I let them apparently freeze in the shed, having stripped them cruelly of their protective covering of earth. So in the close-up picture, I’ve got a lot to learn about gardening, but in the wider angle having to get new bulbs (which I did) and replant them is metaphorically correct. As we approach spring this year, I’m all about reinventing myself. Did you see the new sign posted in yesterday’s blog?
I’ve just created a new and expanded blog site (almost ready to switch the traffic onto this new track), and I got a vision this morning for a new and more interactive photography website. Oh, and just a sign that I may be going in the right direction, I was asked yesterday by the editor of Integral Yoga Magazine (that’s at Yogaville) if I would put my blog on their new interactive site that will be like Huffington Post. Wow!
So I’m planting new bulbs in my good earth. And what is the “good earth” but the ground of our being and our mind/body where we plant and grow and live in the world we create.
