The garden hose theory!

The first lesson from my garden came easily....I cannot stand it when I'm blissfully watering my garden and phhzzztt....the water stops to a dribble, a dabble, a trickle, a damnable drip! The hose is kinked and I have to backtrack along the length of the hose to see what the problem is. How like life this is.....my connection is attached to the Source of life-giving water, the faucet is on and the flow is there.....things are going smoothly....everything is blooming. So what happens! The hose gets kinked....a little bit of unresolved anger, a touch of resentment, a dark corner of resistance to the way things are, a tad of envy, a build-up of cynicism and negative "poop" thinking.....and I am parched....wilting and have to heart trace my connection back to the Source. So I get down on my knees to weed things out that really don't belong in my garden...put downs that I have harbored, self-doubt that nags me, wasted time feeling sorry for myself, unappreciative taking for granted...the blessings that are right there in front of me. Oh yes, I sweat and weed and get back to blooming again.....the kinks in my hose straightened out and the sweet flow of fresh water flowing again. Ahhhhh....gardening...such lessons.
