The last several weeks we’ve been focusing on weeding, weeding, weeding. The garden weeds are exploding at the same time all of our garlic is needing to be weeded. This means there’s an acre and a half of weeds needing to pulled. *sigh*
Weeding is hard work, but can be a “zen-like” experience. It’s just you, the sun, the fields, and the weeds. The task at hand is straight-forward and once you’ve found your rhythm the zen-state comes on naturally. Plus, there’s a certain level of satisfaction that comes when you find those larger-than-life thistles and yank them–roots ‘n’ all– right out of the ground.
I guess you can call this experience, “Zen and the Art of Weeding.”
