Squashes

Posted on by philipdodson

Today, as I do most days, I visited our local bio-dynamic farm at Plaw Hatch.

I absolutely love the place and people who run it and today as always at this time of year they had their trailer full of beautiful squashes. I just love the shapes and the colours.

It is a reminder, as summer passes into autumn, that nature teaches us many things and the changing seasons and the pattern of life that goes with that is there to show us that things are born, they grow, they blossom and flourish, then they fade and eventually die.

Autumn is the phase where the once flourishing plant, flower, tree…starts to wither and to fade.

All things are temporary, so enjoy every moment and make all those amazing experiences that we can all make each and every moment. Don’t stay stuck in your thoughts and worries, just enjoy and buy some squashes to make some lovely autumn soup.

The cycle of life

Posted on by philipdodson

We are all just one step away from having nothing, we can in an instant moment lose everything. Yet we spend our time wanting more and judging those we think we have more than.

We take so much for granted and we do not appreciate what we have. Always looking for more and more.

A life that is centred around appreciation of what we have and being truly grateful for it allows us to be able to deal with the unexpected. We can be at peace, no longer seeking our happiness through more or feeling better than others, which always leads to suffering.

Life goes up and down in a cycle and nothing lasts, it is all temporary.

Enjoy what you have right now and see anything else as a bonus and that will lead to lasting joy, no matter what the cycle of life brings.
