April 10, 2021--First purchase of tools: wheelbarrow, rake, and a manure fork.
September 10, 2025--same wheelbarrow (new wheels) and the manure fork are my daily meditation.
Hard to believe I had a metaphor of a wheelbarrow in India to take unneeded ideas to the surrender pile. Identify, examine, learn, integrate, and compost. Everyday with topics from my own list and the global population at large. Daily rhythm.
Years later, the true wheelbarrow, walking daily, raking manure on the land to see how to heal and care for neglected land. Land and life transforming. I discovered the sacred in compost. It transformed the farm and I learned that soil tending/growing is coherence.
Coherence was an unidentified quality that is the essence of Selfseeds, Awakened Horsemanship, and Living Labyrinth, Inc. Coherence is the soil we are missing with many programs. Programs want to plant seeds.
I learned 10 years ago while working with troubled youth that they need soil before we can plant seeds. I carried that realization for 10 years and only now, it unfolded as the key takeaway of the Selfseeds Spark Experience.
The metaphorical and living wheelbarrow birthed a love of composting. Mystery and Magic of Life!
