Thanks, Mike!
I'm sending out the 9 Rules and the link to the book on both my garden list and a pet blog where I first got the "How to Effect Change" article. Might as well be enlightened in the New Year! ;-D Thanks so much!

I find these nine 'rules' of the great Musashi to be as or more important than the entire rest of the book: 1. Do not harbor sinister designs. 2. Diligently pursue the Path of Two Swords as One. 3. Cultivate a wide range of interests in the arts. 4. Be knowledgeable in a variety of occupations. 5. Be discrete regarding your commercial dealings. 6. Nature the ability to perceive the truth in all matters. 7. Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye. 8. Do not be negligent, even in trifling matters. 9. Do not engage in useless activity. ---Mike McG _______________________________________________ The American Community Gardening Association listserve is only one of ACGA's services to community gardeners.
