And the Mandarins, right next to it, are ripening too. It\u2019s always surprising to me how generous nature is\u2026so much fruit! So much possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everywhere I look, human beings have popped up around rivers. The rivers have water to feed the flora and fauna which feeds us. But they also move, and carry our stuff. Just put the food and the other things gently on a ship and they can go to wherever we need them to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, people would take advantage of this easy route. It would take so much work to carry that load over land, we might never have done it. Of if we had, we would have charged a lot more for those things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the energy that is being given. That\u2019s what my Sensei teaches me in martial arts. If someone is charging at me, it a great idea to step a bit to the side with a shove and give them a free path right down into the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m all for hard work, but those early human on the edge of the rivers were showing that there might be an easy way. Imagine, a woman gathering food from up the river and trying to carry it back. She stops to wipe the sweat off her forehead and sees the leaves floating on the river. Couldn\u2019t her burden float too? A little floaty barge with some rope would make everything easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have to do it the way it\u2019s always been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have to keep doing it the first way I tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can mix it up. Look at it a different way. Who or what might be able to help? Like I said, Nature is surprisingly generous. There is so much there ready to be utilized, it\u2019s practically going to waste. Some inquiry, curiosity and gentle pushes could have huge effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are here to help each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My orange tree is still full of very ripe delicious oranges.
