meditate the weeds away by Rabbitt meditate the weeds away it begins with an intention to allow no intervention no phone calls and no one near- to the world, you simply disappear it can be done squatting or sitting kneeling or whatever's fitting address your row with a bend or bow and plant yourself in the rut of the plow reverence both the plant and the weed for even the weed has served a need don't consider the weed as a foe but as a friend whose time it is to go the weeds gave some protection from a sun too hot and pest infection but their roots got into competition and now it's time for weed attrition you could weed with a cultivator or hoe but weeds so often prefer to grow with the plant and look like the rest so taking them out by hand is best as you gently pull each weed your plant will be able to breathe and it's roots will better succeed at getting their water and feed do this for a comfortable duration in mindful, unhurried occupation and it could count for a meditation or, if you prefer, a mini vacation Added to GotPoetry.com ( http://www.gotpoetry.com ) on 31-May-2011
