I had an almost incurable chronic illness (5% of people recover) for about 16 months. In that time I couldn't play any sports. I didn't have the strength to cook my own food, could rarely leave bed, felt terrible physically (flu-like symptoms every day, terrible headaches, often couldn't eat). After...

The I Ching, one of the oldest and most celebrated wisdom texts, says that great deeds are necessary in the secular sense as well as in the transcendental/spiritual sense. They need to be married together.

I have a vegetable garden and I live with someone who is a professional gardener and garden designer.
