GARDENING RULES FOR LIVING
There is an old French saying: “Chase away nature and it comes back at a gallop.” Mountain pieties are a form of earth wisdom that we ignore at our own peril. There are five principles of good gardening my mountain Gramma taught me. They are principles of growing a soul which we chase away at the cost of a boomeranging stampede. They are: 1. Don’t get rid of your seed corn. 2. There’s no use watering last year’s crops. 3.Feed the soil and the soil will feed you in return. 4.Rain is not something you should always come out of. 5.God doesn’t settle all accounts in October. Follow these five life principles of gardening and I predict you will say with Mary of old, as she ran from the Garden early that first East morning, “I have seen the Lord!” From A Cup of Coffee at the Soul Cafe, by Leonard Sweet
