BREATHE TODAY

A plant is not thinking: Tomorrow I will put a new
leaf to the north and then next week when it rains
I will grow a meter taller. Its existence is just unfolding
out of itself spontaneously, naturally, unplanned.
Similarly, your true life unfolds in the same way
but you are unaware of it because you allow your
mind to imagine fanciful ways of being and then
pursue your projections. Like this, you began
thinking and strategising your existence rather
than simply experiencing your natural being.
We cannot breathe tomorrows, breath today.
Therefore, knowing this, leave your existence
to existence and start enjoying your cosmic
play. Best of all, don’t try to be anything at
all. This is a secret few recognize.

It has been such a peacefilled

weekend. The temperatures

dropped as predicted, but not

so much that any of the plants

were damaged. I discovered my

Spanish lavender is in bloom and

the mint is once again trying to

take over. I have been snacking on

sliced apples with almond butter

and I think I finally found my groove

with making Bulletproof coffee {and

I'm liking it ;)]. I finished reading

The Homecoming of Samuel Lake,

although I wish I hadn't , harming

animals and then children...not for me.

I finished knitting a little hat and

my gift for the spring swap {more

soon] and am now working on sofa

arm covers for a friend. Tomorrow

our spring bring begins!  Life is

good.

IT IS SPLENDID

"Isn't it splendid to think of all the things
there are to find out about? It just makes
me feel glad to be alive - it's such an
interesting world. It wouldn't be half
so interesting if we know about every-
thing, would it? There'd be no scope for
imagination then, would there?"

I've had a great week and I
hope the same can be said
for you too.

I have been waking up way
before the sun and enjoying
time to meditate, practice my
yoga, read, watch the sun
rise, dream dreams and prepare
for my day.

Next week we are on spring
break and I have plans to
gut my studio, do a little
painting and a lot of donating
I would also like to cut my
clothing by 50% since I have
a few favorites and the rest just
takes up space.
.
Yesterday my order for  Bulltetproof
coffee arrived and I had my
first cup of coffee in two years.
Well, it wasn't bad, but there is
a whole production thing to just
getting a cup of coffee...
heat the water
grind the beans
time the French press
pour coffee into the blender
add 1 tablespoon of butter
add 1 tablespoon of XCT oil
Blend and drink.
The coffee isn't bad, just
different, but I did miss
my cup of tea this morning
so am not sure how long I
will keep this up.

I have been reading all about
natural plant dyes and now
have yarn dyeing penned on
my list of things to do this
year. I think I've told you how
I try to learn three new things
a year, how about you?

The clover has grown and is
taking over, but with all
the rain we have been experiencing
the ground is too wet to mow.
This weekend we are suppose to
experience a cold front with a low
in the upper 30's, and my fingers
are crossed it doesn't get too cold
for the fruit trees.

I hope you enjoy a great weekend.
Can you believe this is the last
weekend in March?

Much love,
Tracey
