Happy Spring today!

Plant Seeds of Wisdom in Your Consciousness

No matter what the weather, we are growing a garden in our lives.
No matter what the thoughts, we are planting them in our minds.
No matter what we want to blame, we are choosing what we experience.
No matter what we think, we are the gardeners of our soul.

When we plant corn, we grow corn.
When we plant weeds, we grow weeds.
When we plant blessings, we grow blessings.
When we plant gossip, we grow gossip.

What have you planted recently?
Have you taken a look at your mission, your purpose and goals?
Have you asked yourself what you really want to be, do and have?
Have you looked inside and out at what is growing inside you now?

The springtime of our soul follows the dark and cold winter.
The spring is a time in which we feel vitality and enthusiasm, hope and joy abound.
The spring is the time to take a look at the fields of your unlimited consciousness.
This is the time to wake up and plow your fields with an eye to what is to be planted in your life.

When we take impeccable care with ourselves, we live impeccably.
When we neglect ourselves, we look, feel and live with neglect.
When we fill our minds with nothingness, we feel like nothing.
When we fill our hearts with gratitude and love, we feel rich with appreciation and joy.

Life works for us, when we give up idle chatter in thought and word.
Life works through us, when we engage in meaningful activities of participation and contribution.
Life feeds us abundantly, when we have been good stewards of life’s unlimited resources.
Life feeds those we encounter, when we share the abundant blessings of wisdom with everyone.

The joy in life is watching it work in our lives as we learn to work with the natural flow.
Conserve when there is less. Invest when there is more.
Give thanks with trust and sharing no matter what the flow.
And there will always be more to share.

Enjoy this spring.
See the beauty that it brings.
Know that what you see
Reflects the light in you and me.

I am loving you in loving the goodness you are planting in our world today.
You are a conscious gardener in my life.
Keep up the Good work.
Know you are loved.

Garden Song by David Mallett


Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain comes tumbling down

Pulling weeds and pickin' stones
Man is made from dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
'Cause the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
To my body and my brain
To the music from the land

Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain comes tumbling down

Plant your rows straight and long
Thicker than with pray'r and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
Old crow watchin' hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there

Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless the seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain comes tumbling down

'Til the rain comes tumbling down


Every spring we must choose what is inspiring and feeds our mind, body and soul.
Choose wisely and well.  Your whole life depends on it!
