One of life’s gifts to me this last year is my dear neighbor, Dick. He’ll be 80 years old this month. His entire backyard is a garden-a vibrant, deeply tended, diverse garden! Dick donates 90% of the organic bounty to local food pantries-has, for years. His background is amazing. He has lived so many lives, he’s rich in wisdom, charm and kindness! He has become a dear companion of mine.
We share in healthy cooking, good wine, planting of all kinds, and, as I’m delightfully surprised to find, the evolution of mankind.
I share because there are Beings of Light, of progression beyond fear and duality, all around us. We may use different words-and rightly should-as we are different, and from different times. But it’s so nice to commune with folks who share Heart. Who believe in the long game, who are humble, and ever-learning. Who, despite difference, know the value of being Kind.
Today I toured his gardens yet again, and was gifted some gorgeous dried beans and peach pits to plant, a carrot straight from the ground (you bet I’ll use the greens!) and some mini onions he thinks are less than good, but I think are Divine!
I will feed this sweet man good wine, and nourishing, home cooked food, as long as he lets me…
Thank God for Friends. For friends who believe in a beautiful future for humanity. And small business. And farming your yard. And living simply and full of heart.
My heart is unbound-
