Everything Worth Knowing I Learned on a Farm

Plant gives life to all other life, and soil gives life to the plant.

Look for what you want from various angles. It may not be seen from your current position or point of view.

Words are a very limited way of communication.

Generally, it's not that we love to live, it's just that we're afraid to die.

I have a body. I am a spirit. Physical labor takes care of the first. Meditation takes care of the second.

Nothing is permanent. If done right, nothing is wasted.

Body eats better after an honest day's work.

Silence of the morning brings stability.

Dirt is not dirty, the sterility of an office is.

Earth pours wisdom into you through your hands.

The fundamentals are simple. Return to the root every day.

Less is infinitely more. Walls, no matter how pretty, suffocate the human.

You cannot be here without water and food. The rest is extracurricular.

Nature exposes that my body is small but I am big.

A little amount of attention feeds generosity.

Home is where freedom is.

A Wish

It has been a while since I picked up the pen
But my wish for the world remains the same
I so long to see faces laughing with joy
With no need to harm or cheat or scorn

When the birds chirp loud after a jet black night
While the breeze is quiet as the sun's yet to rise
And the silence's loud thanks to a candle light
May we all know the depth of the gifts of this life
