Probably The Only Right Way

I LOVE the idea of 

 letting it all soak in, . . .to mature slowly

inside you until it becomes a part of yourself.

 If only this attitude existed in my earlier years.

Instead, I absorbed the feeling I needed to hurry and finish one thing so as to move on to another.  Perhaps that isn't surprising growing up in a large family where there was a staggering amount of daily tasks to be accomplished each day. The only way to get 

time for yourself was to speed through your responsibilities.  It was embedded in me early.

But still, the most important thing is the organic process of growing.

Whether its trees in the forest or lettuce in the garden, plants make great teachers.
