¨The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” John 3:8

Hypothesis

We have the radishes ready for eating and with the experiment on planting dates we have observed that the results are different than the expected. Our first group of radishes, two varieties planted on a root day 23rd April are rather small and have less color, vibrancy in general. The two varieties planted on 25th April during the eclipse ( about 50 each group) are bigger and more vibrant, plus the taste is crispier and also spicier at the end kick.

Left to right: Group 1 and 2 planted on 23rd April, root day, Heirloom and Belle.
Group 3 and 4 planted on 25th April eclipse, Heirloom and Belle.

One hypothesis is that the radishes follow the moon cycle strongly than the other influences could account, and that that period of time was coming from waxing to full moon, thus bringing forces of the growing leaves to a halt point (full moon) and the forces of stopping roots to a halt as well.

Another hypothesis is that the intention of the observer brings more forces into consideration than the actual planets, because even though the results are not what were expected they were actually the inwardly desired by the observer.

Yet a third explanation could be that there needs to be more sets of experiments to draw any conclusion, and that the preparations need to be activated better for the results to show in accordance to the planting calendar and not in reverse. ( we may have time yet to see results with the leaf planting and the flower planting this year)

There is always room for more hypothesis...

Meanwhile we had a family staying with us, also interested in the change technology is bringing to the social aspect and how to transform that, either withdrawing from technology and working outside of it or overcoming it.

It is very difficult to do the second and I have to admit with children to raise it is more so. Yet  I am reminded that love overcomes from within, and avoidance is usually a shortcut that does not brings us to the golden road. But again, in a practical way, how can one transform it?

We know of alcoholics and other addictions, for a while is better to stay off temptation, to avoid bars and places that are related to the activity we are trying to overcome. It must work similarly in a spiritual level too, for a while we might have to completely break off technology so we can restore our social interactions, heal our senses, resensitize our human qualities which are based on the Spirit.

When one is strong then we can go back to those places and help humanity in their fall in the deep well, but not before, lest we fall back with them without ever noticing it....

May we keep walking on the narrow path, and may God grant us the sight to see the edge, often is better to struggle in our thought life before we are thrown into the deep, but this may look different for each one of us, as we are guided to overcome our own darkness.

Often when faced with disappointments or trials we grumble, yet. the crumbling that takes place is just what the Spirit needs to work with, "The more the child of God crumbles, the more freedom the Spirit has to work." The Holy Spirit, Abiding Comforter  David L. Martin.

What Love brings
 
Love brings such wonders, is hard to describe,
when one, life ponders, as more years arrive.
 
Sometimes we wonder what will be in store,
we sit asunder and wait at the door.
 
Ch: God humble us low, whatever it takes
                      Your blessings bestow for your kingdom's sake.
 
Why God has changed plans, why this happened now?
yet Love understands, we gratefully bow.
 
The more the surprise, the more we're in shock,
the more he can use our lives for his flock.
