Today in the orchard

Orcharding is a perennial activity, and apple trees are about as perennial as you can get. There’s also a perennial philosophy I’ve been reading about lately. I think it’s closely related to farming and orcharding. It has to do with noticing the inseparability of everything in life. (Sounds like orcharding to me.) In The Perennial Philosophy Reloaded  Dana Sawyer quotes the Franciscan priest Richard Rohr: “We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.”
