The Excavation
Clear one thing out of the ground today instead of adding another thing to it.
Cultivated ground is dug ground. You cannot plant into what has not been broken up.
The Workshop · Day 19
Tools of the field — the King and Queen day. Seventeen gave the outlook, eighteen gave the sword; nineteen breaks ground. Nothing is produced until the earth is dug.

Clear one thing out of the ground today instead of adding another thing to it.
Cultivated ground is dug ground. You cannot plant into what has not been broken up.
List everything outside you that you have to work with: land, people, seed, weather, rooms, hours, tools.
The outdoors is the resource of this law — the earth, the world, the universe, and other people's seed.
Pick one patch — a person, a list, a room, a skill — and put into it what has been missing.
Cultured is cultivated one layer further: taken out of one place and made to blossom in another.
Three columns: what your people are going out to do, what they need, what you supply.
An outfitter equips before she sends. No woman goes into the field unprovisioned.
Name today's outfit as armor — the shoes, the shield, the sword, the crown — and the function of each piece.
Every outfit has a design and a function. This is what she protects herself with inside the kingdom.
Robe one person in worth today: name out loud the high thing you see in her, in front of someone else.
Courtly is mistress over the kingdom. To ennoble is to carry a thing to the highest place it can hold.
