April: On Nature
April 30
Today's reflection was inspired by the poem "The Gardener 85" by Rabindranath Tagore.
Buy a bag of bulbs and plant them in the ground and think of all the other dirt-covered, cracked hands that dug through the same dirt you’re kneeling in now. Smell the honeysuckles and lilacs in April, think of all the others who stuck their noses into the flowers of the ancestors of that plant, those flowers that were visited by the bees of a hundred years ago and were turned to seed where the cycle continued through time to you and will continue on after you.
Do this and know that you are never alone. That you and the plants and the gardens and fields are all threaded together in one massive tapestry of time.

- Creative inspiration: Rabindranath Tagore, "The Gardener 85"
- Reflection Question: What can I do today, in the garden or in nature, that will echo 100 years into the future? What can I do to ensure that life will be able to flourish 100 years into the future?
