Heart-Garden Meditation
Safe, happy, and healthy in the heart garden
The sun is shining, and this garden work feels like soul work
Butterflies and birds of all kinds are flitting about,
pollinating the flowers and fruit trees
I am at once the garden and the gardener
There is no wanting, no desire, just pure joy, pure healing
Wounds and suffering disappear,
I sense peace, calm and loving kindness in every grain of soil
Life unfolds with ease, swirling about the garden in fragrances intertwined
The ego-mind is over in the compost pile
A worm just said “hello, I love you”
– The Global Gardener
You are loved!
Don’t go outside your house to see the flowers.
My friend, don’t bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
inside the body and out of it,
before gardens and after gardens.
– Kabir Das
