| Black Currants |
My dear friend Denise, of the blog 365 days of yoga and daily routine, said today, "Being in nature is healing and has refreshed my spirit." I agree. I think that is why David and I both dove into the garden today, for hours and hours. I finished picking the black currants and processed them in two batches. Boiling water bath. One batch unsweetened puree. One batch sweetened with honey puree. Did I remember to mention our garden is organically grown?
David harvested three rows of garlic and hung them in the shed. I staked tomatoes with old strapping boards and strips of ripped up pillowcases for ties. David also turned over a large patch in the garden, a location that we are doing our best to rid of bindweed, through natural means. The freshly turned soil is puffy and gorgeous.
I hope you too found solace and healing in nature today, even if you only saw a photo of nature in a magazine, or gazed out of a window from your bed or chair to observe the weather in your neighbourhood. Perhaps you sat under a tree? Noticed a meandering river?
Perhaps after a long day of work in the city you closed your eyes briefly on the subway on your ride home and imagined a beach with rolling green waves and a light grey sky. You were standing in the water watching it rise over your feet and then recede. Ah........ nature, yes, it heals.
Namaste.
