The idea of ground truth inspired by the Benedictine rule of Ora et Labora

Orientation 

There is a door
between heart and work.
One consent.

The garden waits at dawn.
You enter.

Morning Alignment

In the meeting place
between sinew and soil,
the door stays open.
You offer both hands.

Evening Release

The work is done.
The door remains.
As above, as below,
the same heart beats in both.

The garden waits.
