What are you cultivating?

Posted on May 18th, 2008 by

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for May 18, 2008:

wild blueberry blossoms

Maine wild blueberries, only I am not cultivating them. They are growing wild on my ledge and in my meadow (back yard)

AND I am cultivating:

rhodora

Well not these either. Rhodora grows wild to at the edge of the woods.
Beauty is it own excuse for being.

Mr. Emerson wrote those words for Rhodora.

The Rhodora reminds me of what we call Chicory here. I too have wild Blueberries and Black Raspberries and Blackberries and Autumn Olives and PawPaws, every one of them supplied by the abundance of Mother Nature and the All that Is.

And I like the quote - “Beauty is it's own excuse for being”. These words very meaningful as the wild Azaleas bloom in willing abandon every where we look. And “to impart a heavenly scent to the air” is it's own additional excuse for being.
