Pulling Onions Again
“A Theos who is understood is really misunderstood … actually no Theos at all.
The little choices, day after day, are the biggest issue.
Stop looking for the Greenman and He will appear.
To always follow the hard, tough and rough way is foolishness.
The gardener is a priestess, the garden her temple and followers, gardening her liturgy.
Before you swear at the overgrown ivy, beware of Dionysus.
If you plant it, they will come.
The gardener fights against Chaos, wins a few battles, but always looses the war.
A gardener seeks direct experiences, seldom concepts.
Things always go downhill, fall apart, wear out … the arrow of Time pierces everything.
Standing naked in my garden, I laughed.”
