Week away from my life - A Covid time

Posted by Monika Meulman on October 23, 2022

there is still some lingering slowness within my body along with some remaining symptoms. I always joke that I am like a turtle: moving slowly, exploring the depths of life, one contemplative reach at a time.

Now, I feel more in tune with the turtle energy than ever. I feel I learned to respect my space, my pace, my every moment in a way I could not even fathom before. I feel I have learned to value my personal resources more than ever before. And, most importantly, I am profoundly aware of the teaching that...

Drum beat of the earth is calling you. Give thanks!

Posted by Monika Meulman on October 13, 2022

earliest celebrations of harvest originated thousands of years ago, dating back to the origins of farming, storing crops, trading supplies and growing ancient cities. Giving thanks for the food we eat has been the way of life long before the European settlers declared it so in North America.

Abundance of the Everyday Life - A Burdocks Diary

Posted by Monika Meulman on September 1, 2022

Are they weeds or are they unsung heroes?

Gardeners dislike weeds because they spoil grass lawns, suck away nutrients from planted harvest gardens and take over fragrant and annual flower gardens.

Weeds excel in the environment we have offered them in abundance!

Complaining about weeds growing where we have created cracks in the sidewalk and empty open soil beds between our flowers is like tsk tsking when people pile on into an empty subway car during rush hour. It is the natural flow of resources. Have you heard the saying 'the universe abhors a vacuum'? We fail to recognize abundance when we see it.
