This is what regenerative farming can look like. This is a picture of the Eden Project in Cornwall, England. Unlike conventional monoculture planting, this polyculture system diversifies the soil life, making plants less susceptible to pests and disease. (Photo by Franie Treetops @ Flickr).

Regenerative farming applies the Buddhist wisdom of pratītyasamutpāda (dependent origination) and inter-being to agriculture. One could also describe this as aligning with the ecological wisdom of Nature, what some African cultures call "ubuntu" - the Indigenous wisdom that all LIFE is interdependently related as a whole, and thrives best as One family -🙏💕

This past week, I was at the farmer's market grabbing farm fresh carrots and cucumbers and I made a comment to the farmer while he weighed my produce that I loved that they had pansies in their herb section and we both laughed about them not being very nutritious.

His jolly retort will always stick with me: "They are for emotional nutrition."

I think we all could use a little emotional nutrition in our lives right now. Eat flowers. Nourish your heart. 🌼🌸🌱

A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.

Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?
If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.

DailyTao.org displays a new chapter of the Tao Te Ching everyday, for your enjoyment and enlightmentment.
