I view life as a I do my farm. There is always work to do to make it produce; there are times of intense work and times where I enjoy just watching the chickens…not that I don’t enjoy the intense work too; but sometimes I don’t as well but it must be done. I am always looking to do things better and more efficiently…so over time the farm does produce more, it does get better, it is not the same farm as it was a year ago. The change is sometimes fast; sometimes slower but it is always there. I think the point here is to make the general direction of change for the better at a pace that is reasonable.

Ah, this is so well said, thank you. It's true, life is about cultivating yourself, growing relationships, nurturing knowledge and skills over time, watering the garden, taking out the weeds, feeding the animals, planting trees.

And I suppose I agree with the posted article's title, that every action is an investment of energy into developing better selves, others, the surrounding environment as an interconnected living system.
