Meditations while Farming.

I'll be working 6 day workweeks for the next few weeks and loving it. The week of weeding is soon over as JT and I went through and sickled many trees. Soon we will be fertilizing.

The day was hot today, at 31 centigrade, so Jt and I were taking a lot of breaks with fresh organic fruit. I could feel their happy energy going through me.

Constantly squatting beneath trees and chopping has is breaking me into a fitter body. Morning and evening meditation and gumdo is calming me for the work ahead. The chop noises and the repetitive in and out work has become part of the meditation.

The people have become a part of reflection of character in the face of the world.

JT is a bubbly who is strong because she sees the world as good while Y is a strong dilligent person in work to make a strong eco system around him.

The setting gives me strength.The food from the farm is giving me strength to work and try and the meditation is breaking apart the negative thoughts I have.

There are also elements are the farm that run counter to our mission such as a conventional farms and certain things that can not be organic. Did you know the commercial mackeoli has aspartame in it? There is also the artist.

The artist has been given a chance by Y. They have a difficult relationship because they relationship is strained due to the artist being a difficult alcoholic. Y has recognized his talents and the artist was touched by Y's dilligent lifestyle and has tried to restart his life. At first he helped Y alot to make the healing farm. You see the statues in the pictures are him but also the furniture inside. His presence is all around the farm and yet the artist also falls asleep on the streets in town and scares the children and old people with his long hair.

 "Bad man they say," Y says to me. We are riding back from lunch of raw fish in a broth and served with many side dishes. We always go to the same restaurant and its delicious. The artist was talking on the phone and standing on the pickup bed. He got drunk at the restaurant and was still talking.

"I told him to about a month ago to go live. But after that he feels he has no hope so he is drinking more and I feel bad about that. So I'm thinking of giving him one more chance but I'm not sure."

THe conversation ended and JT and I went to weeding.

We finished the weeding at the Tangerine farm and Y joined us for a break. We ate fresh watermelon. J talked to me about mackeoli making which I'm really exciting to learn his method. He then started talking about his reasons for making fermented alcohol and making organic fertlizer and an organic environment which I will devote and entry to.

The day continued. We came home and ate a simple dinner of corn side dishes and banchan.

Then we did an hour of meditation.

We finished.

"Is the breathing getting better," he asked.

"Yes, it has."

"As you recovered you will feel more positive energy.:

He went outside. A minute later he called us and did a breathing exercise with us.

J said to me later, "Y says its better to go outside and experience nature."

It made sense to think its about focusing my energy.

Friends of JT came over and brought ice cream. Even though it wasn't organic I felt positive feelings eating it.
