New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| With sun and warm weather, gardens grow abundantly. Strawberries ripen, asparagus starts to fern, and rhubarb grows fibrous and ornamental. Pause for a moment today and give thanks for your garden's abundance. Whether your garden is a backyard plot, containers on a deck, or a pot on your windowsill, take a moment to appreciate the blessing of food, flowers, herbs, or vegetables that is yours. Soak up the joy. Now go! Perform a five-minute miracle.
Fueled by joy, move through your garden, gently nipping and pruning, pulling weeds, removing seed pods, and plucking off dried leaves. Fill a container with water and pour, soaking the plants with your gratitude, joy, and blessing. Say: "You feed me joy, food, and flowers, I feed you gratitude. You bless me with nurturance, comfort, and nutrition, I bless you with love. You feed my spirit, heart, eyes, and belly, I feed your sacred being." |
