The Heart is like a garden

    The heart is like a garden: it can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?

the heart is fertile ground

it that place that makes us who we are

it is the place where Sacred moves

or fails to move

it is that place where things collect

and multiply

I cannot control what comes my way

but I can control

what I allow to be at home

in the good earth of my soul

I can choose what seeds

I will allow to rest

and germinate

and bloom

I choose forgiveness

I choose compassion

I choose acceptance

I choose love
