I also enjoy exploring consciousness through letter-writing. Managing the money of Watershed is an opportunity to learn about the principle of exchange. This is very challenging, because money has such power over our attitudes. Through my work with Watershed I've started to understand administration as a spirituality of work, of creating with meaning. This has got me started into Creation Spirituality.
Gardening is a good counterpoint to administration.
I built a grow-light stand last year and in the winter my room smells of young seedlings starting to sprout. Its very invigorating to watch them grow, first indoors, and then in the garden. Begonias are my favorite, next to Cleome and Sunflowers. I made a new front bed last year and am experimenting with flowers that grow in partial shade. Lately I've been taking a tutorial on 14th century English Mystics .
