Having not expended any of my holiday leave yet this year, I’ve
taken a few days off work to do some maintenance around the house. This morning
I awoke to fog and mist, which made for a very pleasant shadow-boxing session
among the trees at my park. I then came home and took advantage of the cool
weather to direct my attention toward our yard and garden. Part of what appeals
to me about FMK / Zen Martial Arts is its holistic approach, including the diet
along with everything else. Thought I would show you guys my garden and how I
am growing healthy, organic food as an aspect of that wider perspective. Also,
I figured it might be time to make my first philosophical contribution,
and decided I would go right to the heart of the matter that seems to be commanding
so much of Shi Zu’s attention – the mainstream propensity toward competition,
aggression, and violence
I hope to be able to grow plants/vegetables as well as you one day.... I think it's very calming and pleasurable to see how you can create something in nature and watch it's beauty grow.
ReplyDeleteI liked your other video where you were talking about all the different plants, very very cool video Brother.

Thanks, Kong. I'm not the greatest gardener, but I am managing to grow some decent food in a region that is naturally pretty much high desert. Only wish we could get fruit to grow here too, other than the regional berries (which I eat a lot of)
ReplyDeleteGardening is definately the way to go, Jenny & I wish we had a home so that we could have a garden in the backyard, but it does not look like that will ever happen. Thanks for the posts & staying so active on this blog.
ReplyDeleteTell you the truth Sifu, I'm going to look into rent-to-own houses pretty soon. The one we're in is just rented, and it costs fully half my income every month. Can't seem to get a mortgage, but I hear there are other ways around the problem
