I picked one rose in a hurry. I was afraid of the gardener. Then I heard the soft voice of her; What's the value of one rose? I will give you the whole garden!" The 12 century poet Rumi, reminds me that I am surrounded by a garden of love. I can become that garden if I believe that I am a flower with no fear, watered from the vessel of All There Is, love.Like the rose, I am one flower in a garden of beauty. Every person, place and thing that I come in contact with, is part of that garden. The garden is a gift given in love, so I can grow and expand into a grander version of myself. The brightness and the darkness, the hot and cold, wet and dry that I experience in life, are the seeds of learning I chose, in order to remember who I am.My words and actions express my inner root system and maintain my connection with my garden. I can become a flower of graciousness or die in my own soil. I can be a vessel of awareness or a poison of disconnection. I can hide from my fears or know my identity. I can fertilize my thoughts with gratitude and compassion, or dry up and die in anger and judgment. My petals can be sweet with nectar, or void of taste and limp with suffering. My thoughts create the reality of my garden and I can till, plant and nurture what I desire. My bouquet is my arrangement, for all to see.In love I feel the garden is me. The world and all that's in it, is connected to a divine garden, a matrix, that grows as the flowers grow, without limits or expectations. Completely free to create and express joy, beauty, and love in peace.My garden, my world, is a mirror of me. It's a polished vision of my own creation. I am the mist and the cloth, that cleans it.The gardener gave me the whole garden to love.
