Replanting

Some years ago i collected seeds from white mullein growing along the roadside. Mullein is a common roadside plant with fuzzy gray leaves and a 5-7 foot tall stalk of very small yellow flowers.

This white-blooming variety escaped from a nursery, now defunct, and reseeded themselves on the nearby roadside. Actually, i collected seed for 3 or 4 years before one finally took hold in my garden. Now i have dozens.

We have to replant our intention quite frequently, even during a single period of meditation. We replant the intention to be mindful, to be kind, or to practice patience. Then, one day, mindfulness or kindness or patience shows up in a place we didn't expect it, and we en-joy the blooming of our practice.
