by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ For those with eyes to see, with ears to hear and with a discerning mind the game is in a full on sprint. The last 2 minutes of a full court press, the push at the goal and the masters emerging from the game board ready to set the pieces aside […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ Thoughts from my head I asked my black cat if she really was black. I don’t trust German shepherds because I think they are really Russian. It’s true. Every Russian movie I ever have seen has fierce German Shepherds. My son was taught not to trust Russia and therefore Russians. I […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ The day had magic sparkling all around. It wasn’t a particularly special day. In fact it would have been like an ordinary workday as people went about their business as nothing was different. But I could see it was not like it used to be. I felt the difference. Every direction […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ I was seated in a restaurant far from home when I heard it. It took me by such surprise that I looked up from the menu and took stock of my surroundings. The restaurant was pretty much like any hotel lounge. A seating area along the wall led into an open […]

by Digger Barr gaiasgardens.guru/ I am not sure how to describe it but I will try. I was still asleep when I woke up. I could feel and see in my minds eye that I was still asleep. I felt my body at rest. I felt my legs tucked and my arms clasped together under […]

by Digger Barr gaiasgardens.guru/ Two months until the USA elections. How’s everyone doing? There is change in the air everywhere. It happens this time of year when the kids head back to school. People’s schedules adjust and the traffic patterns follow. The air itself carries the shift as you can almost perceive the sound of […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ The soot covering his face didn’t tell the whole story. Coupled with the amount of rainfall and the number of firefighters climbing out of trucks one could surmise it was good news. The graveled parking areas around the one store town were filling up with hotshot trucks rather quickly. They were […]

by Digger Barr gaiasgardens.guru/ Before the boat went by, the lake surface had been smooth. The stillness of the morning air was reflected in the stillness of the water. Turbulence of the previous day had filtered away and everything lay in silence. I too was reluctant to move. I snuggled deeper into the cozy sleeping […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ I have a confession to make. I have not been watching the Olympic games held in France. As a former athlete and a coach of many years this may be a great sacrilege. I wish the best to the teams and individuals who are giving their very best towards this event. […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ Most of my life I have had awareness of endless lies. As a very young child I started questioning things like most children do. But I also started not believing the answers I received. This way of thinking may have been a rare thing, but this particular disposition set me upon […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ The bee hovered in front of me with wings beating so fast I welcomed it as a tiny fan. I looked at it and it looked back at me. Clearly we were observing each other. Why would a bee be interested in me I wondered? These must be drones from another […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ Bright red strawberry juice ran down my fingers staining the skin as it rolled down to my knuckle. The knife cut easily into the flesh, removing the crown and dicing the sweet fruit into slices, chunks and bits. The bits fell into the cereal bowl below. Hitting the golden wheat flake […]

  by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ I found hope on the Fourth of July. In a place where one would hope to find peace and tranquility, I indeed found the world that I envision for the future. Peace and tranquility on the American fourth of July in most places would be considered an oxymoron. When even […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/ Weird is the new normal. This in itself is weird because weird was my old normal. It is pretty upside down when what made me weird before is now becoming normal and so I am no longer the odd one out there. I have switched from being different to being potentially […]

by Digger Barr https://gaiasgardens.guru/   Patience of a gardener is more than just waiting for seeds to sprout. It is a lifetime practice of success and failures.
