This is a great question! Wow. Right to the heart of what matters most. I am sitting here with my mother-in-law and enjoying one of the first warm and sunny days of the spring. She loves the sun and at 87 is still happiest baking in its rays. I struggle to be compassionate with my elders, knowing so much of their lifestyles created the standards by which we live and the excessive impacts we are now having on the planet. I hope that as the days get warmer, so too can my heart and that I can shift from being angry to being forgiving. Even when I garden, I can be competitive, wanting a new bed or a new special plant. I think, this year, I am going to focus on what already exists - - the people and places I know and love - - and give my love to them all.
