9 个月Watering! Such a big, VITAL part of Gardening. (The Greeks have a very vibrant resonant word for VITAL: ZOTIKOS, from ZOI meaning Life; that surprisingly - unlike that other word for life as lifetime or a story, VIOS/Bio - is not one of the millions - thousands rather - of Greek words taken up by English. Meaning critical, matter of Living/LIFE) (Just remembered ZOOLOGY ... taking up ZOI after all). Auditing as Gardening as Watering. Auditing as Gardening at its most VITAL. With LOVE, a most constructive well-intentioned EMPATHETIC intent. A NURTURING intent. NURTURING as its deeper NATURE, state of mind. Overarching. Overriding other attitudes and states, like Skepticism. EMPATHETIC Skepticism. Empathy goes deeper than Scepticism, to the innermost ultimate INTENT, DISPOSITION. Scepticism ends up being a part, an element, a tool, a means towards the end: All the positive implications, ramifications, consequences, products and results of EMPATHY. The fruits of Empathetic Nurturing Auditing. Inevitable outcomes of People being brought much more out of by being much better motivated by a much more appealingly sympathetic treatment. Good Morning all. The soothing filling picture & sound of Water flowing towards Life. Vitalisngly.
