Thich Nhat Hahn says that we all have "seeds" stored in our conciousness
some seeds are positive
love
compassion
some seeds are negative
anger
fear
hate
when we "water" a seed
it grows
and beomes
a part of who we are
his advice?
don't water the negative seeds
don't give them a chance to grow!
Don't read words of hate
don't watch movies of violence
instead see the negative seeds
and replace them
with positive seeds
and water those seeds
of love
and compassion
take a walk
live mindfully
or better yet
heartfully
nourish the good in your life
this is my hope for myself
and my prayer for you
Lord
may you help me water the good seeds
and may the
negative seeds
fall on rocky ground
and
never
ever
take root
