I can’t count the times I have looked at a plant and said “Oh, I used to have one of those.”  

When I go to that Great Nursery in the Sky, will I be called to account for all the pots I forgot to water, the torture of perennials that had been beaten into submission by weeds, or the failure to put the needs of the plant over my own desires about placement and zone appropriateness? The neglected plants that starved? The forgotten pots that I brought home and never got planted? 

Chances are good you know the rest of that quote, i.e. “to forgive, divine.” But have you ever thought about the truth of it? About why forgiveness might be deemed divine? 

Have you ever considered that the lack of meditation means you’re likely to miss out on life’s everyday miracles? Even worse, you may not believe in daily miracles at all. Miracles aren’t always Hollywood epic. More than likely, if you’re looking for Hollywood epic every day, you’re going to be epically G.O.T. (Game of Thrones) disappointed. For those that didn’t go down the G.O.T. rabbit hole, it was a long (epic, remember), sometimes wonderful, sometimes horrifically compelling, always enthralling ride that skidded to a sudden, unsatisfying halt with blue-faced, angry fans that did NOT have a ball.
