Mother Nature

 You want to check on your standards of perfection for yourself?  Are they unrealistic?  Well try gardening as in yesterday’s blog.  Gardening, by its very nature does not go as you planned.  This is the norm.  So check on your response to things not going as you planned.  Acceptance?  Then you are well-connected with Mother Nature and your place in the cosmos.  You are not Mother Nature.  You do not have omnipotence.  You are not God.  This is the attitude of acceptance.  If you are not into acceptance you will know it by how miserable you feel and take out on others when the garden does not grow to your expectations, that is perfectly.  If you are addicted to perfection or have been taught to be, then maybe gardening is not a good idea.  If you are a recovering alcoholic you had better have a sponsor.
