I'm Seriously More Comfortable Contemplating The Tao Of The Pond Than The Tao Of The World

 January 21, 2025

Hi, earlier today I wandered down to the lower pond and had a chat with Min about what could be done to improve the overall lower pond experience. What makes this both intriguing and exceptionally difficult is that we both feel a need to listen to the pond.

Here I could  lay down a few thousand words and definitions that would probably just confuse all of us. So, keeping thinking simple; I want to be able to be in the lower pond area and feel the life moving around me. Watching the turtles, spotting a kingfisher, enjoying the scents and smells. And doing it all not as a boss or an intruder but as a servant, a steward of the lower pond. I have a need to be a part of creation. 

Might not make sense to many others, but this is where my journey has taken me.
