digging as symbolic of renewal

Creating and maintaing edges
--in the earth: ground covers, perennials, grasses and small shrubs;
--in the museum: unearthing details, conceptualizing andshaping them; going for the long view

Even gardners sometimes don’t understand what I’m talking about at first. My digging is an analogy/metaphor for renewal.

Digging joins intention, process and product together.
A never ending cycle [brushing teeth].
Renewal then is a purposeful action, a creative adventure, and escape/flow

In wonderment this can reach a place where time and space evaporate;
where insight, innovation and creativity emerge into a beautiful and ever changing place.

The process is physical and energetic, and intention emerges from and directs the whole.

INSTRUCTIONS: assess yourself against this measure:
-Place yourself – at this time, in this place
-When responses rest to the right – take action to correct.
-When responses rest to the left – ponder a bit.
-Here, left is right!
