In My Mind’s Zen Garden

I had some dreams last night, which is truly rare for me. Last significant dreams I had, I documented them here.

So, I found myself suddenly in a college Physics class, and as if I’d been teleported here from another location… somehow magically, I felt totally out-of-place and apparently I was being reminded by my Physics professor that I’d been missing some homework.

To add to my utter frustration and confusion, I was sitting smack dab in the front of the class, not knowing what the heck was going on!

Anyway, this was a short snippet of a dream, but a dream nonetheless and given the rarity of my dreams, I try to write them down for later reference.

Incidentally, there was a very short dream of me being rather intimate with a black girlfriend. All I remember was we were very close together and I was admiring her face. And that’s all I remember, and good thing, being a “happily” married guy and all.

. . . .

Today is a peaceful Sunday for me, though the weather is not cooperating with me. There is sunshine here and there but right now the weather is a bit overcast.

I’m doing some gardening. Yesterday I bought a bunch of plants from Evergreen Nursery with my wife and her sister and their aunt. My little niece was there too. It was fun selecting new plants for the garden, but now I have to plant at least some of them today.

Digging holes for the better part of the afternoon.

Planting new plants and trimming shrubs and trees, etc…..

It’s good exercise. Haven’t done any yoga yet today, nor have I walked or ran in the past week or two. But the gardening is an awful lot of work and I’m getting my exercise for sure.

We also went to the meditation gardens at the SRF Temple in Encinitas. That inspired us to do more gardening and make the yard more like a meditation garden.

Gardening… is like a form of meditation.
