Spring arrived already two months ago, and with her a new fresh flow of energy impregnated the center. The grass grew bigger and stronger; the flowers on the trees and plants began to bloom. What before was a dead hill with low grass and few traces of life, is now a rainbow carpet that spreads all the way from the house until the bottom of the hill. Many flowers ranging from very small to palm size are spread in various areas, along with the two feet or more sized weeds.
Besides the beauty of the effect created by the merging colors, something more powerful came with this flow of energy. From the essence of mother earth and the heavenly kingdoms, this flow of energy brought life. Yes, life. Now, the mountain is crowded with many forms of life. Plants, animals and many, many insects inhabit this land giving it a sense of real natural environment.
Following the changing natural patterns of life, we, in our “artificial” little green world “Organic Garden”, spread the seeds for a new generation of crops. Those blessed green creatures will supply us with energy to survive until the old years reach our bones. The garden is now full of fresh vegetables. Some are ready to be picked, while others are still in the growing phase. This organic vegetables and fruits (beets, strawberries, lettuces, zucchinis, spinach, tomatoes and others), feed us, our honored seminar guests and all who decide to pay a visit to our little home.
Along the hill and garden we also have some fruits trees that were planted a few months ago. We have pistachio, almonds, chestnuts, plums, Asian pear and apples. Some, like the plum tree, already have a few fruits. However, the majority is still on the growing process. Most were bare roots when we planted them. Fortunately, they survived and already have a few leaves now so they can get in touch with the great Sun.
I came from a city life. The contact with nature was never on the same level as here. The energy of the earth is so pleasing. I wish I could always appreciate it as much as it deserves. Don’t think about nature, don’t talk about nature, don’t look at nature and don’t be with nature. Be nature, and you have returned home.

Your writing is looking good Ricardo!

Yes, I know what you talk about.
I live in the rolling hills of southern Taiwan, grow organic stuff on former jungle ground, and also train IMA. Sometimes, we have to give back to nature, i.e. the bugs are feeding on our vegis, lol.
In difference to you, I still have a fulltime job, so I only train about 10 hrs. a week.
Much success for the summer and the comming years.
