How Does Our Garden Grow?

Seeds germinate by attention.  Even manure or ignored thoughts grow.

Add good compose, focus on what you want.

 

Great gardens begin with the smallest of acts. 

Soil, rich in micronutrients of smiles and kind gestures,

can change how we feel. Like green shoots of hope,

these acts cultivate endless garden varieties.

 

While toiling the rows, notice the deadheads.

What in life triggers you, causing anger or joy?

Drupes of awareness creates hardy tendrils of understanding

self and that our plots are connected.

 

Cultivated daily, blooms alter our lives as well as those around us.

Like a monecious plant, heart and mind link up.  Rational and emotional blend into easier decisions.                                               Our garden becomes healthier.

 

Tilling the soil, the body leads and heart-mind follows.

When performing acts of kindness,

be aware how you feel and how you affect others.                      

Pay attention to small clues, nodes of propagation,                                         

Note it in your farmer’s almanac, get to the bare root.                                                 

Keep trying activities that feel good to discover what you love.

 

Gardening is not always easy. Take a moment to be in the moment.

Wipe the sweat from your brow and breathe.                                            

Organic loam layer is not limited to talent or aptitude.                              

  Everyday practice is what counts.                                                                

Notice daily smiles and watch our garden grow by leaps and bounds.

See the fruits of our labor ripen on the vine. Harvest time is now, our garden is ready.
