On Monday, March 20, 2023 the spring equinox will bring the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It's a time for new growth, new life and new beginnings.
Here are some inspiring words on new growth from Thich Nhat Hanh:
“Your mind is like a piece of land planted with many different kinds of seeds: seeds of joy, peace, mindfulness, understanding and love; seeds of craving, anger, fear, hate, and forgetfulness. These wholesome and unwholesome seeds are always there, sleeping in the soil of your mind. These seeds grow in our lives over time, but the quality of our lives depend on the seeds we water.
If you plant tomato seeds in your gardens, tomatoes will grow. Just so, if you water a seed of peace in your mind, peace will grow. When the seeds of happiness in you are watered, you will become happy. When the seed of anger in you is watered, you will become angry. The seeds that are watered frequently are those that will grow strong."
Happy Spring... Water the seeds of goodness in your life...
