"Don't touch my garden." "Leave my garden, Please!"
Every Garden is Attacked
Anytime you plant, build, or create something, like a garden, it will be attacked from without (birds) or within (insects). This is not bad. This is the law of nature. And of human nature.
Understanding this should not make you negative or distrustful of people. It's just a natural law. Give a party and there will be party crashers. It's inevitable. And the larger the energy you create the larger the attack. Just ask any lottery winner.
The attacks from outside your garden, like birds and weather, are understandable. But the attacks that come from within, the people that you pay to take care of your garden, always come as surprises. Why did he steal from my garden? Why did he step on my flowers?
The answer is simple. It's the law of nature. So protect the garden that you are now planning, especially once it starts growing prosperous.

Astounding. If there were words I needed to hear... you have just provided them for my ears. Now... If I can only figure out how to get this plants to grow in saltwater....
Sail on... sail on!!!
stuff happens, it usually isnt personal. good stuff, i love your blog. i try to set these examples and live these ideas. you are a terrific inspiration and reminder!
I admit it. In the place I used to live, the man behind me had an acre of apple trees planted. I grew my garden along the chain-linked fence that separated our yards, but every now and then, when I was working in my own garden, I pulled a shiny red Macintosh from the branch that hung over the fence. I justified my pirate thievery by telling myself that it was a gift of the earth, and who could own such sweetness?
