An First Step to Something Bigger: Composting

Month after month, I have reviewed what’s been happening at Skillful Means, but I have also written about some of the written and unwritten challenges (a.k.a things I want to do).  The unwritten ones are those that I thought were kind of “iffy”.  Those items that I really didn’t have a good starting point for, [...]

The Discussion, The Precepts, and The Dojo

We all agreed we would not log the discussion from last night. It was a wonderful time and a most difficult and interesting topic to discuss.

Garden Warfare: Battles to Toast with Some Mates and a Few Pints

“From the wreckage of men come the lessons of life.” … wow, that sounded cool… I wrote that… hehehehhehehehe…. Ok, ok… what I mean is, from the corruption of any living thing, one of flesh and bone, or one that is just an idea, there seems to come a rebirth. Rarely is there not a [...]

My Room in the Garden

There is a room in my mind.  The floor is green, the walls are made of wood.  It smells of cut apple and cherry tree. There is a room in my mind.  It is not so far away.  It is actually right outside the walls that usually shelter me. There is a room outside. It [...]
