How To Be A Soul Gardener.

How To be A Soul Gardener

First identify the land.

Fallow earth is rich with the turning of the seasons.

It is seasoned by its dormant potential.

If there are a host of weeds upon it

this is the best of signs

it shows it is capable of abundance.

Be patient.

A garden needs attention to its natural shape

work with the form it has.

Rocks must be watered

to soften their imperfection.

They have a natural perfection in them

that can be brought out by the water of your devotion.

Take note of where the little streams flow.

See how they gently contour

the earth and carry away the debris

that can cause stagnation.

Work with the rivulets

remember, each one runs to a mighty river.

Don’t concern yourself

with how other gardens seem to be flourishing

while yours is still resting.

Only your garden matters

there cannot be any lasting blooms anywhere

until your garden is increased.

Breathe with a warming wind upon the land,

look with the eye of the sun

rain with a diligent clemency.

Be the climate that fosters fertility.

Now turn the soil over.

Till the clay with an awareness

of its ample latency

to be the bed of every seed.

Bring out the good earth

let it be ripened by the ambiance of spirit.

Now plant your good seeds

in the deep earth

where the storms of doubt will not scatter them.

Stay to nurture them until they root.

Have faith in their energy to rise to the light.

The blooms are in the seeds already

your faith will bring them to appearance.

Do not try to do too much.

Just be the gardener

who creates the conditions for gardens.

Remember, there is only one master gardener

so listen for the call

to act or to rest.

Enjoy your garden.

It will be ever changing.

Each day a new wonder you will find there

Each day its borders will grow wider

until there is not just your garden

but the endless garden of the one soul

for you to delight in.

love

Lovely! Just wonderfully beautiful. May I send copies to friends?

Can I take off your name and put my own in its place? (No! Just

kidding! How awful!)

Thanks for sharing this little gemstone of the earth...

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.
