The Flower Garden
I have a small flower garden filled with perennials just outside my front door. Red, white, purple and pink are the predominant colors.
I learn about myself as I view this beautiful garden.
Sometimes I walk by and see only the various color spots within the garden. If I tune into my thoughts I often realize I have been thinking in more narrow, focused ways.
Sometimes I walk by and see only the weeds I need to pull. You guessed it; I’m usually having some critical or negative thoughts.
Sometimes I walk by and smile in gratitude at the overall beauty of the garden. I see the individual colors. I may even notice the weeds. But my primary focus is on the magnificent beauty of the garden.
My mind acknowledges its reflection in the garden.
LOOK AROUND. WHAT DO YOU SEE?
WHAT DRAWS YOUR ATTENTION?
THE ANSWERS ARE EVERYWHERE.
JUST NOTICE.
JUST PAY ATTENTION.
