Good evening!
We now have a nice quiet evening. I hope you enjoy the new flowers blooming and blossoming continuously– irises, roses, lilies, peonies – and also that you enjoy your gardening – cultivating, sowing seeds, seeing germination and growth, planting and transplanting.
To transplant and sow seeds we must clear debris and weeds, and prepare the soil so that it is softened and fertile for growing flowers, vegetables, and trees. After sowing seeds or transplanting, we must continue watering, weeding, fertilizing, and even trimming or pruning to make beautiful forms, bountiful flowering and fruiting.
In the same way we must cultivate our minds and bodies, softened and refreshed, and make them into good forms for flourishing and fruition. Then we can enjoy more beauty, goodness, peace, truth, and holiness. Freeing and fully functioning go together like cultivating, clearing, and softening the ground, and verifying beauty, bounty, truth, and peace.
Cultivation and verification of beauty and bounty go together, depending on our constant and continuous efforts. Efforts are met with effects. So, let us cultivate our minds and bodies to enjoy beautiful, bountiful flowers and fruits.
