The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?
~from BUDDHA'S LITTLE INSTRUCTION BOOK by Jack Kornfield
"It always amazes me to look at the little, wrinkled brown seeds and think of the rainbows in 'em," said Captain Jim. "When I ponder on them seeds I don't find it nowise hard to believe that we've got souls that'll live in other worlds. You couldn't hardly believe there was life in them tiny things, some no bigger than grains of dust, let alone colour and scent, if you hadn't seen the miracle, could you?"
