—William Stafford, from his poem "Yes"

« Legends say that Mary Magdalene meditated alone in this holy cave for thirty years, like a tantric yogini. The cave had originally been dedicated to Diana Lucifera, the goddess of the witches, light-bearer of the Moon Mysteries. It was likely sacred to our Neanderthal ancestors. » —Seren Bertrand, Magdalene Mysteries

How to not feel bored alone in a garden, something I've learned and feel proud of. A sacred teaching. Feeling bored and sinking in to it, another precious skill.
