Can you believe it is JULY is about to end

and August is almost here?

 

I have started a new practice.  This practice has been accidental.  Sort-of accidental.  

​

Charles and I have discussed starting a garden. Multiple times.  This year, however, we created the space for this vision we have been building with our words and in our minds. I have video of the preparation of this space.  Charles is using the tiller, turning the dirt and building the space.  The space that felt small.  I planned what to grow.  We bought the seeds and the plants for the maragolds and tomatoes.  I read the packages, talked to the experts and plotted my time line.  Next we acquired gardening soil and tilled again. Then we planted.  And watered.  And watched.  Fast forward two months:

​

The space is filling and filling rapidly!  There are tomatoes, carrots are getting taller as are the beats.  String beans are vining like crazy!  Cucumbers are too!  This garden is exploding in many ways!  Today, I checked my garden like I am doing everyday. 

​

What set today apart, is the string beans.  The plants have been growing, expanding and flowering.  But today, there are string beans! We have beans.  MANY beans . . .

​

This got me thinking about multiplying which lead to thinking about sacred numbers.  One day, no beans.  Next day, many beans.  But the multiplying did not start there.  It started before the garden space was ever tilled and ready.

​

Remember the old adage, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime"? Multiplying is to multiplicity as adding is to addition.  The act of multiplying in our lives, in our careers, in our impact is the creation of ripples and resonation. The ripples start with ourselves and pan out around us in all directions, leaving their impact on all who are nearby.  The resonation is the familiarity of the concept, idea, process we have put out into the world over and over which becomes part of who we are, how we show up and the repeated impact we are creating.

​

In my community, Sacred Numbers, we are sharing ideas, processes and concepts to create the lives we are intended to live, have the impact we want to see in the world and doing the work to create multiplicity for ourselves and those we touch in life.  And this all started with growing a garden for me. Food for thought. 💜
