And Friends, as we practice being people who grow gardens so much more than ‘our own,’ let us send you home with gorgeous plants for you and (y)our wide community, too! Sincerely, if you know one or one hundred people that would love to be surrounded by this abundance, please don’t be shy:

trust you are trustworthy

trust abundance shared

And ohhhhhh, Friends: sending such huge love to all the people who have come from near and far to receive and amplify these leafy green gifts for the world! Meeting your delight, curiosity, confusion, commitment and courage has grown my heart like so many unfurling leaves:

Also, here is a song

in the rain, for the rain

as every drop turns into petal and frond, stem and stone, cloud and toad and fruit, me and you:

I love the rain!

Let us gift you seeds & transplants, Friends!

And Friends, these gifts are ‘free’ not as in ‘valueless,’ but free as in Fannie Lou Hamer:

‘None of us are free

until all of us are free.’

As we sow the smooth seeds of beans into dark soil, hearts heavy with empire collapse while simultaneously shining with Indigo Bunting song, we are so grateful for Friends and the poems they bring us, like this one earlier today:

We Alone

by Alice Walker

We alone can devalue gold

by not caring

if it falls or rises

in the marketplace.

Wherever there is gold

there is a chain, you know,

and if your chain

is gold

so much the worse

for you.

Feathers, shells

and sea-shaped stones

are all as rare.

This could be our revolution:

to love what is plentiful

as much as

what is scarce.
