We come from the earth,
we return to the earth,
and in between we garden.

"I don't dwell with our past
anymore.

I need to remove the things
that could distract my
flowers from growing.

I need to remove who's blocking
the Sun and who's stopping the
rain.

I will start again on the broken
concrete. It doesn't matter
where I start anyway.
✨
Because all I want is to be
the gardener of my own."

🌼 Clau Blanco
🎨 Salvador Dali, Dance of the
Dandelion, 1944

“It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.” ~Zen parable

The garden is a metaphor for the interconnectedness of all things. Most people are unaware of this interconnectedness, and thus they are unaware of the garden. A warrior unaware of the garden is merely a brute—all courage, no compassion.

Unfortunately, most warriors fall under this category of unsacred warrior. They have either never become aware of the garden (out of ignorance), or they have repressed or ignored it (out of willful ignorance).

But ignorance does not get anyone off the hook for being connected to the garden. EVERYTHING is connected to the garden.

Sacred warriors, on the other hand, understand that the garden is foremost. They realize that the path began in the garden with birth, health, balance, and discipline; and it will end in the garden with death as compost for future health.

In the garden, the sacred warrior has the courage to ask the difficult questions: “Does my path have heart?” “Am I living my best life?” “Does my life have purpose and meaning?” And then they have the audacity to turn those questions around on the “tribe.”
