Faith is the Seed

Faith is the seed,

practice the rain,

and wisdom is my yoke and plow.

The Buddha

The Ground's Generosity

The ground's generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty!

Try to be more like the ground.

-- Rumi

Plant a Tree

The true meaning of life

is to plant trees under whose shade

you do not expect to sit.

--Nelson Henderson

Someone Else's Spring

Winter comes to every one of us sooner or later.
And every spring, just like clockwork, 
the garden is reborn.
By the time we die the real question is,
"What have we done 
to leave our garden better prepared for spring--
someone else's spring?

--George Vaillant

Meditate With Me

You can meditate with me while I'm on the first 2 weeks of my self-retreat!  Here's how:

Download Insight Timer onto your iPhone or iPad for $1.99.

Register your app.

Friend me on Insight Timer.

You'll be able to see when I'm meditating.
Perhaps you'll join me for a few minutes. 😊

The Meditative Gardener is On Retreat until Easter

I'm taking the month of March as a silent retreat month. I'll be at home for the first 2 weeks, doing a self-retreat. After that, i'm going to 3 different retreat centers.

I have a few posts scheduled for March, but in order to see them, you need to subscribe to my blog so that they will come directly to your email.

The Meditative Gardener will resume blogging on Easter.
