Peace Garden
Your Peace Garden
Decide today what seeds you will water.
The seeds of peace, compassion, connection, delight, and kindness?
Or the seeds of hostility, judgment, bitterness, separateness, and anger?
Whatever seed we water – moment to moment, day after day, grows. Keep putting even just a bit of water on that seed and in time, it becomes a garden, a landscape.
A garden of tenacious, tall weeds we get lost in.
Or a garden of beautiful, vibrant flowers we (and our dear ones) flourish in.
Sow the seeds of peace today. In this moment. Tend to the peace garden in your heart. Wherever you are planted.
Blessings of Delight,
Lisa

Isn’t it wonderful to be so reassured that we can choose which seeds to water?
Thanks for a lovely reminder of that.
Yes, you are right. And what I so love about my Buddhist practice is the fact that in any moment, we can wake up. We can decide which seed we want to water RIGHT NOW. Even if two minutes ago I was watering the seed of anger, in THIS moment I can begin again.
Yes, yes–exactly!! You can make something of your suffering by recognizing the watering and changing course. brilliant.
Oh so beautiful Lisa!!! Love this ♥
