It has been an intense weeding project.
2-3 hours 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Weed aerobics and I end up
sweating as I attack the various patches of weeds. And I have enjoyed
it. Memories traveled through my mind . When I was around nine or
ten. I was given the task of weeding an acre of weeds. Watching me my
mom told my dad to help me as she could tell I was overwhelmed. He
drew a square 6 ft. by 6ft. Said weed that. Then draw another square.
My dad did not teach me much but that lesson has stayed with me
through out my life and here I am full circle weeding and sectioning.
It works.
I've observed how I get over focused on
the weeding and also ADD sets in and and I lose track of my intended
goal as new weeds appear. During Steven Woolpert's visit in May and
he and and I went to pull a couple scotch broom plants that I am
trying to eradicate here and that expanded to a weeding a whole
field. But he and I enjoyed it. I also note that I did this at my own
home. I would periodically get started and couldn't stop. Once
painting the whole inside of my house in a day. Not good and yet in
some way very satisfying to complete something.
It is also easier for me to work for
someone else. Doing service for others is such a strong motivation
that has guided my life. Bouncing around to various “life times”
I note that service is the common thread. The past 3 summers cleaning
pit toilets was very satisfying. And now weed warrior. But alas the
main projects are done and there is an emptiness as I don't have a
project to do...
So weed warrior I have been and now
what? In August I am told that my job at Cascara Camp ground will be
mowing. Another one of my jobs I did as a child. What comes around
comes around.
