Our role as gardeners is to choose, plant and tend the best seeds within the garden of our consciousness. learning to look deeply at our consciousness is our greatest gift and our greatest need, for there lie the seeds of suffering and of love, the very roots of our being, of who we are. mindfulness...is the guide and the practice by which we learn how to use the seeds of suffering to nourish the seeds of love.

It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.
Years Practice Space
You have two gardens: your own garden and that of your beloved. first, you have to take care of your own garden and master the art of gardening. in each one of us there are flowers and there is also garbage. the garbage is the anger, fear, discrimination, and jealousy within us. if you water the garbage, you will strengthen the negative seeds. if you water the flowers of compassion, understanding, and love, you will strengthen the positive seeds. what you grow is up to you.

Stop watering things that were never meant to grow in your life. water what works, what's good, what's right. stop playing around with those dead bones and stuff you can't fix, its over...leave it alone! you're coming into a season of greatness. if you water what's alive and divine, you will see harvest like you've never seen before. stop wasting water on dead issues, dead relationships, dead people, a dead past. no matter how much you water concrete, you can't grow a garden.
Garden Past Greatness
