Time isn’t a line

Paying deep attention to plants allows them to recalibrate your sense of time. The dominant culture shoehorns you into a reality tunnel that claims time is linear.

The hedgerow is not linear, it’s a spiral cycle.

Plants show this by returning, renewal and cycling. This perceptual shift changes how you relate to effort, outcomes, patience and plenty. It disrupts the myth of perpetual growth.

How would you change your goals if you measured them in cycles instead of rungs on a ladder?

Most of my work goes to newsletter subscribers only. When you know some plants, Domei comes next.

A simple, quiet practice built around giving one plant your full attention without an app or a cushion or the need for a belief system. Some call it 'zen in work boots'.
