I feel this one so acutely. Thank you for making that conscious and offering a way to work with it symbolically and practically.

So glad it resonated - it’s so uncomfortable to have an overgrown garden! The motto of my favorite science teacher was: Fight Entropy. She was on to something. Order to disorder. It’s definitely all a work in progress.

And yet entropy is also a part of life which can lead to negentropy which is perhaps the Fight Entropy". My garden is so overgrown and disorganized. I think I need some sticks and labels. ;)

The dance of chaos and order! In the end entropy will get the better of all of us - but until then a system for sorting the seeds.

I had a sign above a communal sink that said Fight Entropy so it mostly referred to dishes.

Perhaps another word besides “Fight” for the creative proceeds and idea garden tending.
