Therapy

Why is it that after a couple of hours in the garden slashing, cutting, pulling and deheading plants you feel so much better?
Is it because you go in to an automation type mode, with your brain going to a separate level and cruising at 50 kilometres down a non-thinking highway? Or is it just the pure exercise of bending, stretching, kneeling, almost tai chi type movements that you make? Or is it the total destruction of another life form that you can get away with without having to go down for 15-20 years?!
I know which option I'm thinking!
How does the saying go, I'm not a vegetarian because I like animals, it's because I hate plants!

you know, there's a number of theories on that. there's the castaneda school of thought which says that tending plants (which are alive and aware) gives you their power. there's the serial killer school of thought, where killing any living thing gives you power. you're just a power-hungry plant-fate-decide-er. i'll bet the place looks fantastic, though.
