gardens

i have a new garden that i haven't spent time with yet. first i went to uk. then work work work. now portland. so the garden is patient. glad it is raining lately. when I get back will be time to tend to the garden. was musing about that term, "when i get back." or, "when i get caught up in the lab..." so it is a "then what" kind of expectation. as if real life will happen after trudging through work. or experiencing a hasty trip. so figuratively i can scoop toward the center all outward looking. ie right now is the adventure. even if i am just on my way to vacuum mom's apartment. stay right in the present adventure and give it the honor of being an adventure in the first place.
