the garden.

think about how you feel when someone does or says something nice to you, a stranger perhaps. Think about your body, the sensations, your mind, this is a reaction to what you find beautiful. Gratitude, generosity, comfort, appreciation… these are beautiful emotions. With these emotions, the once separated flower gardens start growing into each other to form one unified, diverse and beautiful garden**. At first it is many competing flower gardens, but flower gardens are all beautiful, there is no better or worse. When they grow into each other(using gratitude, generosity, comfort, appreciation etc. as their fertilizer) it creates a mesh of acceptance, then we start to look around and realize one garden is no more superior then the rest. Growing into each other, eventually seeing a single garden expanding into it’s beauty moment by moment. The garden grows into one when the individual gardens expand themselves to meet each other, and form together into a whole.

**But if the whole world were a flower garden, we would no longer call it a garden. We would experience it’s beauty every moment without truly appreciating it because without comparison we cannot appreciate the beautiful. Our world is a world of opposites (as of now) because it provides the situations where it allows us to experience both spectrum’s of the same unified source. It’s not to find one better then the other but to recognize the singular truth in 2 seemingly opposite parts. Some prefer rich or poor, up or down, loud or quiet, tall or short, ugly or beautiful, happy or sad, not for one to be greater then the other but to experience the greatest to the fullest only by experiencing the weakest to it’s fullest. This cannot make one end more important because both ends are of equal importance to experience the full extent of experience itself.
