No need to remember a technique,
fire up an app
or take a class.
Just go into the garden
and do what needs to be done.
A bit of weeding,
tidying the greenhouse,
watering tomatoes and cucumbers,
(there is always something
that needs attention).
Simply do the work,
at its own pace.
When the time is right,
find a spot to rest,
perhaps with a cup of tea.
Thoughts come,
(summer fresh butterflies dance between flowers)
thoughts go,
(there are a lot of dewy cobwebs around)
thoughts come,
(the asters are starting to flower)
thoughts go,
(I can still hear the swallows).
Life in the Fresh Air 
So insightful!

Thanks Sarah! We have indeed – just come back from a few days away in our motorhome in deepest Shropshire. Must be one of the few places left in England where there is no mobile phone signal or internet! Heaven …

Sounds lovely. There’s a few places in Cumbria without mobile signal too, it is nice to get away from the internet for a while!

A lovely meditation on meditation! You’ve captured the simplicity and the sometime frustration that makes people think they’re doing it wrong 🙂
