We are a bit obsessed with “outcomes” and determining “cause and effect”. But look at this photo. Do you think this shows cause and effect? Do you think this little plant has split open the concrete path?
I don’t think so. Of course, I know the crack was there long before this little weed popped up. I don’t know why the concrete is cracked or when it happened. It was like this when we moved here over two years ago. But I do know that from time to time a weed will turn up here or hereabouts.
Plants are brilliant opportunists. Give them the conditions which they need and they will thrive (even if you don’t want them to!)
I think it’s the same with all forms of life. Create the right, supportive, environment and life will thrive. All living organisms are adaptive and opportunistic. All are utterly unpredictable.
The best way to create health is by providing the environment and opportunities for life to thrive.
