I rediscovered this poem today, via a post over at SouleMama. I figured I would share it here and share some pictures of the little plot of earth I have.
Sowing the seed,
my hand is one with the earth.
Wanting the seed to grow,
my mind is one with the light.
Hoeing the crop,
my hands are one with the rain,
my hands are one with the rain,
Having cared for the plants,
my mind is one with the air.
my mind is one with the air.
Hungry and trusting,
my mind is one with the earth.
my mind is one with the earth.
Eating the fruit,
my body is one with the earth.
my body is one with the earth.
-Wendell Berry
