It’s a force of life, with consciousness and awareness. The plant consciousness remains an untrapped, unrealized potential to the gardener who might have just stuck in the ‘doing to’ syndrome, to bring forth that potential you have to be consciously be with the plants even when you are ‘Doing to’, ‘Being with’ and ‘Doing to’ have to become as one flow of energy.
In my garden, I don’t grow any plant to be eaten as food, may be I should expand on that. I don’t grow any plant as food for our stomachs but grow plants to deliberately feel our heart and soul, we should grow plants to beautify the inner you, because we love them to grow, to work with them, because we want them, as together our life and all other lives are enriched through our holistic richness.
We call our garden a eden’s one or a garden of heart and soul and the cheery faces of the flowers depict the inner you and your smile, visitors in our garden always comment on the positive vibes the feeling in the garden it only comes when we assimilate ourselves entirely with whatever they do, people visiting our garden lingers here and there, feeling joyous and calmly relaxed never really ready to leave, the chirping of the birds on those hefty laden branches with leaf and flowers the humming bees sucking the nectar of those beauties the sun bird perching on here and there imparts a very satiation of mind heart and soul and same effect it leaves on the visitors itself. They feel the same energy with the aviary, for these are the birds that I love to keep not as captivated pets but as free flyers on the branches of my tall stalwarts (trees), I love to keep admire and care for that is the real ‘Being to’ feeling and not just ‘Doing to’ if it would have been ‘Doing to’ alone then it would have been real mechanical and robotic not that nurtured feeling would have come.
