MAKE HAY





Matter…
Make hay while the sun shines - an expression we say more often than we use its meaning.

Mass and Premise…
Hay making is a process that has existed for several thousands of years and is the longest established method of conserving grass for feeding livestock through the periods when it may be impossible to get good grazing. Successful haymaking relies on the crop of grass being thoroughly dried before it is stored.
The first step in hay making is the cutting of the grass. This must be done when the weather is fine and several continuous dry days are expected. Hay that has been rained on is of poorer quality and may be unpalatable. 

Force, Stirs and purges…
While a man admires the greenery, another makes hay of it. Are you living in the dreams of how green your future is for too long a period of time that you have created a more future future of what should be your present? Do you just see the green in the grass (or the lack of it) or do you see the hay locked in it?
Hay is not made by just knowing the grass has the potency. The first step to making hay is cutting the grass. The grass may not dry up properly, the blisters may find home in your palms and yes the grass will be all over your apparels but you are free from the thought of ‘what will happen if I …’ and can move on to the next thing.
To make hay you have to be in the grass, under the sun. The grass does truly itch sometimes, the sun may cause a tan but you will not get good hay while avoiding the grass or the sun. When the sun is up, find your place in that ‘grass’, work the hay in your present life circumstances- work, relationships and even that depressing stance. Getting a tan does have its advantages.
Making hay is a harvesting. Harvesting to store for when the need to graze may arise. Even when in some perspective grass is only seen as weed (- unwanted plant). Making hay is harvesting unwanted plant. However unwanted or unpalatable a situation may seem, there is a worthy harvest in that unpalatable situation.
 Find the green in the grass, go beyond the finding and cut the grass, make a harvest out of it and get a tan while you are at it.  Make hay while the sun shines.
