除草是沉思的好時候。
當在菜與菜之間拔除雜草時，忽發其想，為什麼草不會在菜的位置上生長，最多都只是在菜的旁邊生，而根部會糾纏著。
過了幾天之後，記起在史代納博士的《Pastoral Medicine》（GA318) 有提及過莖部顯現太陽力量，根部顯現月亮力量。
“For we would find that everything connected with the stem’s upward growth has some relation to the unfolding of the sun’s forces in the course of the day, in the course of the year, even beyond the year. And we would find that everything connected with the root’s downward growth has some relation to the moon’s forces and the moon’s changes. If therefore we look at a plant properly, we already come to see through its form a relation between sun and moon. We have, so to speak, to extract the simple image of a plant from the whole universe, from all the forces in the universe.”
