Finding Zen Again

I stepped into the soap shop this morning and was greeted by a soft, bubbly, babbling brook sound.  Very nice...I thought....but I don't remember buying one of those little zen waterfalls?   Was this an attempt by my family to get me to relax and unwind?  Then it finally dawned on me.  Of course!  Jory's compost tea!

This is the first batch of the season so I'd forgotten how pleasant that bubbling sound can be.  Maybe not as glamorous as a little zen waterfall (though that's debatable)...but far FAR more useful I'd say.  Our gardens beg to be drenched in it.  Our houseplants soar to new heights when they get a taste of it.  Our worms are more than happy to provide the microbes that form the basis of it.  And lord knows we've been able to catch plenty of rainwater to supercharge it with.

You know... if I stare out the open window at the twittering birds and scampering squirrels amidst the lush foliage that those recent rains have brought on....I can easily imagine that I'm sitting next to a peaceful babbling brook.  My mind begins to clear and my muscles start to melt.  That paired with visions of all the nasty artificial fertilizers that I know we're NOT poisoning our planet with...and hey...who needs those cheesy little zen waterfalls from China anyway?  The reality of compost tea is where it's at for me.  Babble on, baby.  Babble on.
