No Seed, No Bloom, Plant

“Our mind is like a field in which many seeds germinate.”― Joan Borysenko, Pocketful of Miracles

“Seed Thought Meditation is a form of mental martial arts. If we resist thoughts they will overpower us. But if we just step lightly out of their way, letting them come and go like birds flying overhead, we can use their energy to further focus our minds. ― Joan Borysenko, Pocketful of Miracles

What seeds will I plant, nurture, water, feed?
Thoughts, words, actions
My own, not others
All in my command and control
May I put my effort, energy and attention here
To cast light, color, joy rooted within
Walking in love, kindness and generosity
In the world, not of the world
Imperfectly, intentionally, with gratitude
Choosing well, living well.

“When my ego starts in with its judgments about what is wrong, what is not good enough, let me notice this pessimistic thinking and instead, see my blessings.”― Joan Borysenko, Pocketful of Miracles
