"For Your Garden” (author unknown)

Plant three rows of peas:

Peas of mind, peas of heart. peas of soul.

Four rows of squash:

Squash gossip, squash indifference, squash grumbling, squash selfishness.

Four rows of lettuce: 

Lettuce be faithful, lettuce be kind, lettuce be patient, lettuce really love each other.

No garden should be without turnips: 

Turnip for service, turnip for gatherings, turnip to help one another, turnip the music and dance.

And finally, you must have thyme:  

Thyme for work, thyme for rest, thyme for each other, and thyme for watching sunsets.

The Seeds of Lasting Peace

Patience is an enormously supportive and even magical practice. It’s a way of completely shifting the fundamental human habit of trying to resolve things by either going to the right or the left, labeling things “good” or labeling them “bad.” It’s the way to develop fearlessness, the way to contact the seeds of war and the seeds of lasting peace—and to decide which ones we want to nurture.
