The natural world fulfilled me as nothing I’d done while stuck at a desk. What made it so? If I only pay attention, a garden tells me what to do.

May my body cast light upon the earth. May my head shine like a bright star. May my arms and legs be the constellation that enchants every spirit in the world.

It takes time, a solid will, the right place.
