You could make a poultice out of mud to cool a fever. you could plant seeds in mud and grow a crop to feed your children. mud would nourish you, where fire would only consume you, but fools and children and young girls would choose fire every time.

Our role as gardeners is to choose, plant and tend the best seeds within the garden of our consciousness. learning to look deeply at our consciousness is our greatest gift and our greatest need, for there lie the seeds of suffering and of love, the very roots of our being, of who we are. mindfulness...is the guide and the practice by which we learn how to use the seeds of suffering to nourish the seeds of love.

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.

You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

And there's a wonderful parable in the new testament: the sower scatters seeds. some seeds fall in the pathway and get stamped on, and they don't grow. some fall on the rocks, and they don't grow. but some seeds fall on fallow ground, and they grow and multiply a thousandfold. who knows where some good little thing that you've done may bring results years later that you never dreamed of?

Remember when you were a kid and the boys didn't like the girls? only sissies liked girls? what i'm trying to tell you is that nothing's changed. you think boys grow out of not liking girls, but we don't grow out of it. we just grow horny. that's the problem. we mix up liking pussy for liking girls. believe me, one couldn't have less to do with the other.

In our consciousness, there are many negative seeds and also many positive seeds. the practice is to avoid watering the negative seeds, and to identify and water the positive seeds every day.
