GARDEN FLOWER VISION

 



    And as I was falling asleep I saw in a garden the girasole, which captured my imagination. The girasole is a massive green stalk that grows tall, with broad green flappy leaves surrounding an elegantly centered yellow crown. The girasole is very sensitive to the movement and position of the sun, for it turns to always be in favor of the sun’s direct light. Inspired by the girasole as it faded from my sight, I now glimpsed  a more powerful flower rising through successive stages of energy arising from the earth to a golden crown top. This rising flower I now saw had a thick support stalk, straight and suppled, providing ample space for the seven flowers to root and grow, eventually large enough so as to droop from their perches.
    Within the flower was a rainbow. The rainbow came through the white sky and formed an arc in the vision heralding the colors that decorate the inner kingdom, where the seven flowers are always in bloom. However, when separated from their life energy, the flowers retreat and lose their vitality and color. But through a process of sowing the space through sound and weeding,  I began the process of opening and returning my flowers to their full and vibrant colors.
    In this garden of spinning energy, I see a multitude of flowers that start from the base of the muddy earth and rise, straight and strong, to the crown. Each flower takes up its position along the vertical stalk, from bottom to top, to grow according to its intended energy and vibration. As each flower is part of the whole group of flowers, this multitude of flowers is magnificent, for each flower grows according to the will of its seed. In this growth, each flower produces a different color and different shapes at different levels between the mud and the crown, so that there are 7 flowers vertically aligned. Each of the 7 flowers has a different purpose and intent with a different sound. Each sound is a seed, and engenders a resonant response within each flower and creates the color vibration that grows and elevates the different flowers, and in so doing, paints different colors as they respond to the power within. As well, a unique number of petals geometrically bordering the core circular center wheel radiating out to form the flower’s shape, as part of their intent to design and manifest artistic creativity and beauty.
    At the base of the stem is a red flower. As the base is closest to earth, it vibrates in the earth and physical energy resonant with the soil of the earth. The intensity and passion in this red flower is always present so that this red energy relies on the balanced spin of the atomic particles for balance. Then, the red flower is nurtured by the seed LAM. The seed Lam has the intensity to clear blockages found so near proximity to the earth. This red flower has 4 petals, each symmetrically arranged around a squared center. The four petals are elegant in their geometry arranged around a resplendent square.
    Above this red flower is the orange flower.  The orange flower finds its harmony in this location above the red flower, where the intensity of the red flower is muted by its vibrational frequency above the red flower. Here in this space, the orange flower seeks the creative expression within itself. The orange flower is nurtured by the seed VAM. The seed VAM has the intention to feel the creative desire expressed in the vibration above the red flower. This orange flower has 6 petals, each symmetrically arranged around a circled center.
    Higher above the orange flower is the yellow flower. The yellow flower is a higher vibration than the orange, as it highlights the happiness bound up in its yellow. From its higher position, the yellow flower expresses relaxation, as it receives heat and light without over stimulation particular to the red flower. The yellow flower seeds itself by RAM. The seed Ram has the magnetism to ring in the tones of happiness. This flower has 10 petals, each symmetrically ranged around a triangular center.
    Moving upward, the green flower sits above the yellow flower. Taking the vibration of happiness, the green flower manifests this energy into compassion. Higher than yellow, the green flower highlights the compassion of the heart, as it grows with a profound sense of healing. The green flower seeds itself by YAM. The seed Yam rings the silent but powerful unheard sound encased with all being, that is always manifest. This flower has 12 petals, each symmetrically arranged around a hexagrammed center.
    The blue flower is above the green flower. The blue flower loves the birds singing as well as the bees buzzing around, as it uses this communication to grow in a peaceful contentment. The blue flower seeds itself by HAM. The seed Ham expresses itself in the multiple sounds merging in the universe. This flower has 16 petals, each symmetrically arranged a triangular circle.
    Waving at the near top is the indigo flower. The indigo flower does not need multiple petals to highlight its beauty, as the two petals illuminate the union of sky and earth. The indigo flower seeds itself by OM. Pulsating as all sounds, the seed Om is universal and within everything. The indigo flower has 2 petals, each geometrically arranged to form a complete whole. 

    The highest flower that has climbed in total openness to the total light of the sun is the white flower. The power of this white flower generates 1000 petals, each perfectly arranged in a lattice that is immaculately precise. The white flower seeds itself from the sound seeds of the flowers beneath it, for it receives the energies rising upward from the other flowers in perfect surrender.
    And so I return to the beginning of my vision, where I once again see the magnificent flower of my vision. but now, the vision is retreating into itself, going from tall to small. I hear the sounds and I see the colors, as they balance perfectly into a symphonic whole, forever sustaining. As the magnificent flower continues in this movement into itself, I witness the vibration within all life, until I once again return to the earth, ready to grow again. I am no longer asleep, but an ever spinning toroid.

FROM KAKI TO PERSIMMON

Image
         Although the Persimmon is a global fruit, I had never eaten persimmon in my childhood. The first time I recall seeing a persimmon fruit was not in the supermarket but on the ground in Italy, after having fallen off a tree. I was curious what this orange fruit that was rotting on the ground in front of me was: the answer was Kaki.     The Italian word Kaki was derived from the Japanese word Gaki, so that the word itself creates a historical record of the origin of the fruit. However, the Kaki or Persimmon is native to Japan, China, Korea, Burma and Nepal. Yet, somehow the Japanese word is the word that jumped to Italian. Yet, the word Kaki did not jump to English. Instead Kaki becomes Persimmon, which is derived from the Algonquian word for dried fruit, which is derived from the American variety of persimmon.     I learned the word kaki, though I did not eat kaki or persimmon until 15 years later. At that time in Italy, I knew of the kaki as a fruit that grew on a tree in a pub

THE MANY ROOTS OF THE GARDEN

Image
         I envisioned the garden. I sowed the seeds of the garden. I watered the garden. I harvested the garden. The garden was my hands, built from my intention that fueled my energy to create and form. But more than that, the garden involves the many moments beyond the designing of the garden, and sowing the seeds, for the garden also involves when the sun catches then garden during the day, or when the rain falls on the garden, or when I walk in the garden looking at the flowers and the stems and the soil. All of these add to my original idea of the garden. From my original creation of a garden, I created infinite possibilities involving those moments of the garden within the garden and linked to the garden.     In my heart, I decided to grow vegetables, even though I had never grown vegetables before. Instead of seeing the space in my backyard as the site of my garden, I looked at other sites always seeking the spot for the garden. Then  I listened to the voice of my loved one, and

SEEDING THE GARDEN

Image
    Now that I had planted the seeds according to a design of square footing and height guidelines, I became the expectant observer waiting and watching for the sprouts to break the surface and grow. I was now on nature time.     Nature time is the organic cycle of day and night, sun and rain. These cycles have their own sense of intention and presence. These cycles are reflected in each seed, in which each is endowed with the intention to fulfill its mission to grow and prosper. The radish seed becomes a radish. The fennel seed becomes a fennel. The chard seed becomes a chard. Each seed also has its presence. This presence infuses each seed with a connection to the universal consciousness, so that each seed interacts with soil and sun, wind and rain.     In participating in gardening, I became intertwined with the presence of each seed that I planted. My participation seemed to focus on the food that each seed would become, so that I was aware of the presence but I was not in tune wit
