So original! Shows you know a lot about thinking and farming :) . I like the sustained metaphor. Finding the “magic pond” with a view to externalising and sharing what has been growing internally, is a challenge. Such a big gap to bridge.

Yes, is it a mysterious process. Even we who are devoted to it cannot always describe how it happens. When the sharing is successful, it is re-manifested internally. I have also applied the word EXTERNALIZATION in this context. Thanks for being synched in with me!

I'm very grateful to you for telling me that the symbolism applies to others.

Now that I look back on this poem, I admit that the imagery is a bit quirky, to say the least, so I think you are very open-minded and generous in finding something to like here.
