Today was a quiet meditation.
I transplanted approximately 600 tomato plants by hand.
That was the first task of the morning.
Same body movements up and down the beds.
I had help from Martha, a new volunteer.
After the tomatoes were planted, we mulched them with the hay we received last week.
Same body movements spreading the hay over the three beds.
I was in my head for most of the morning.
Repetitive movements. Repetitive thoughts. Absence of thought. Breathing.
Tomatoes. Before and after.
This afternoon we weeded the melons in Field B.
Same position and movement for three hours.
I was definitely in my head for the duration.
I am continually amazed at what our bodies are capable of doing... over and over and over...
I am grateful for the opportunity to find out.
My evening continued the meditation.
A walk to the gas station for Coke, Peanuts and Beer. Essentials.
Straight to the 3 Sisters Field to dig holes for, erect and secure 8 - 8 ft branches with which I'm fashioning a mini gazebo in the center. Will have pictures of this tomorrow when I am finished. Exciting.
Was all in my head for that as well.
Enjoying some beer now and envisioning a long night's sleep... in my head.
