The seed will need the darkness

We have planted!

Sunday was a very big, tiring, and fabulous day. I'll write more later on (I was too tired and happy last night).

Our first beds are planted with corn and peas. It is the moon shaped bed that is just on the outside of the vesica. Here is pic of Lisa's son making careful seed holes.

I'm reminded of the lyrics from my favorite Rickie Byars, the album "In the Land of I Am", the song, "All fades into God":

early in the song:

"In my pain, there inside my weakness, is the seed of something greater in me..."

then later

"the seed will need the darkness to change into new light."
