I received an email today from my first teacher in the behavioral sciences, Pamela Cole. At the end there was this quote,
“Let us be grateful for the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” Marcel Proust
Seeds, gardening, planting and transformation have been a part of my daily conversation for several months now. Last week my daughter Dana planted seeds in her grandparents’ garden. Both Dana and my parents discussed the process. This last weekend in the Stillpoint ISDS class I was talking about snakes (which have a transformative meaning in Jungian dream work) and I said of my lack of gardening skill, “I don’t touch dirt.”
Yet planting the seeds of growth is what personal development and self-help means to me. Moment by moment we are all planting seeds in our life garden. The impact of what we plant is not the results we get. The impact of our life garden is how well we remember to count the flowers and not the weeds.
Happy gardening and may peace be with you,
