The whole process of mental, spiritual, and material riches may be summed up in one word - gratitude.
Being new farmers our level of enthusiasm is quite fervent. Almost everyday has been filled with working on projects around the garden, animals, soil and compost, etc. We have been acquiring new plants and trees I guess animals too), not to mention the huge supply of building materials. Lately however we are slowing down and beginning to be more thoughtful of the "bigger picture", the plan for our farm. ?Not that we werent thoughtful before, but I think we are realizing that there is wisdom in starting small, getting organized, settling in, and observing all that is around us, including the seasonal changes and the elements. Creating a vision takes time, just as much time as manifesting the dream. So as we dream and plan, our roots grow downward and begin to take hold. This little piece of land is starting to feel like home.
