Muckraking gadfly (p.248) : Gadfly journalism is the work of a journalist who upsets the status quo by
posing upsetting or novel questions, or attempts to stimulate innovation by proving to be an irritant. Whereas, Muckraking is the work of a journalist who investigates and exposes societal issues such as political corruption, corporate crime, child labor, conditions in slums and prisons, unsanitary conditions in food processing plants, fraudulent claims by manufacturers of patent medicines and similar topics.

Volunteer: In gardening and botanical terminology, a volunteer is a plant that grows on its own, rather than being deliberately planted by a farmer or gardener. Volunteers often grow from seeds that float in on the wind, are dropped by birds, or are inadvertently mixed into compost. Unlike ...
Weeds, Which are unwanted plants, a volunteer may be encouraged once it appears, being Watered, fertilized, or otherwise cared for.
eXuding - what a great word!

"...For He broke it for us in a garden /  Under the olive-trees / Where the angel of strength was the warden /And the soul of the world found ease.
God's Garden: THE Lord God planted a garden / In the first white days of the world / And He set there an angel warden / In a garment of light enfurled..." ~

"...I dream that these garden-closes / With their shade and their sun-flecked sod / And their lilies and bowers of roses / Were

The song of the birds for mirth,–
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth."  ~Dorothy Gurney (1858 - 1932)

Yearn for happiness... I am your moon and your moonlight too / I am your flower garden and your water too / I have come all this way, eager for you / Without shoes or shawl. / I want you to laugh / To kill all your worries / To love you / To nourish you /  Oh sweet bitterness I will soothe you and heal you / I will bring you roses / I, too, have been covered with thorns. ~ "Bittersweet" by Rumi

   "Quest Physics... If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you."
