Gardens and Harvest


земли урожая

I have not been overly restrained in my criticisms of the government and the politicians, nor the entire country, for that matter. But too many people are crabbing about everything, leaving us communication based on anger and fear... not a constructive idea in sight anywhere, just a frantic desire to get back to the old days.

I want the new days. New summers and new waters flowing down the rivers filled with new waters from the melting snows of winter.

Autumn and winter will sweep across the garden, but they will be followed by spring and summer. We are in the winter. We must makes plans for the spring, for preparing the grounds, for providing the waters, and for the plantings. That will ensure good growth through the summer and into the harvest time.
It is no longer time to be angry, frightened, nor morose.
The new summer will be brilliant.
When autumn comes again, let us be prepared with the fruits of the harvest, and wait again for summer; summer will always come. It may not be the same: it may be hotter or rainier, but it is the time of growth and our happiness - the hearts and expectations of intelligent beings has more to do with the state of the world than we usually let on, for Life is a state of mind.


Which state are we in now? Which state do we want to be in? Prepare your garden accordingly.

Preparar para o verão,
o tempo de crescimento ...
Outono é tempo suficiente

(forgive my Portugese... and Russian. I can barely do English!)

Surprisingly enough, Fela Kuti's mother in the play "Fela!" had a speech along some similar lines, mentioning new growth and blooming.

I was pleasantly surprised.

The simulcast was very good yesterday.
