Green Thumb

Would you rather forgive yourself for all that you have done,

Or for all the things you haven’t?

Are the questions and doubts that keep you up at night keeping you out during the day?

These intrusive thoughts plant the seeds in your mind, body, and soul

They are there. That can’t be changed.

You are to become a plantation of perception

A thickening of thinking

We don’t plant the seeds,

But we water them. Nurture them. Cross pollinate the contemplation.

The weeds stay whacked, the grubs stay gone

Fears can be motivators. Sorrow a seminar

Lethargy a lecture

Take note that what you are feeling is feeling

That proves you are alive.

Do not bottle these feelings and bury them away

They need the sunlight to grow themselves

You need them to grow yourself

Take pride in the plot and acknowledge the production is paramount

If you take care of the garden, you control the harvest
