CBS' Sunday Morning had a segment earlier today on the Great American Lawn (link below) on how people have become very fastidious about maintaining their lawn during the pandemic. The implication being that a well groomed weed free lawn is what many of us strive for.
Sad.
On the visual level a weed free manicured laws is appealing to many, not to me. To achieve such a result a lawn is staturated with a variety of harmful chemicals. Think of those signs that are placed on a lawn after it has been treated, saying 'lawn chemicals have applied to this lawn--please do not walk on for 24 hours." So the chemicals applied on the lawn are detrimental to your health, your families' health, your pet's health... It also impacts Mother Earth.
At another level it is even more damning. We live in a sea of consciousness--the world is nothing but consciousness re-arranging itself. Pesticides, chemical fertilizer, weed killer are all a very pernicious and nasty consciousness. When you apply chemicals to your lawn you are applying that nasty consciousness to your lawn.
Worse, This nasty consciousness lingers well after its physical shell has diminished. The negativity remains and grows stronger when you re-apply chemicals. You are constantly coming in contact with this consciousness when you or your family of pets walk on the lawn. You think its safe to walk on the lawn--it is not. That negativity lingers to affect your subtle body and possibly your health, all the while corroding your soul.
When I see a lawn without weeds I see a diseased and damaged lawn. I see someone that cares more about appearances than our Mother.
A MANICURED WEED FREE LAWN IS A DEAD LAWN, A LAWN THAT IS BAD FOR YOU AND OUR MOTHER.
