Your Mind Is a Garden
心如花园
Some time ago, Mary and I were visiting somefriends in the
country. We were staying at a beautifullittle guest cabin,
surrounded by fruit trees, flowersand even a few goats. Painted
above the doorway inbrightly colored, flowing letters were the
words:
Your mind is a garden.
Your thoughts are the seeds.
You can grow flowers or
You can grow weeds.
Little did we know it at the time, but this littlepoem was to
have a profound affect both on ourthought patterns as well as our
artworks.
It started almost as a kind of game. We decidedto make a real
effort to watch our thoughts and seeexactly what it was that we
were planting in our own“Mind Garden”. It was difficult at first,
but gradually,we began to pay more and more attention to
whatthoughts were repeatedly flashing across our minds.
How disturbing it was to discover that manyof these “seeds”
were extremely negative thoughtsdestined to grow patches of thorny
thistles andstinging nettles in our daily lives!
We gradually came to see how so many of theproblems and
difficulties we were encountering in ourlives had their beginnings
in the seeds of doubt, fearand anxiety that we were continually
planting in ourminds.
It does take effort but like anything else it getseasier with
practice, and the amazing thing is, aswe became more and more aware
of these negativethoughts we are able to say:
“No! I will not plant this weed in the garden of mymind.”
I will consciously choose to plant somethingbetter. The
results are truly spectacular.
When you start to consciously cultivate yourown mind garden,
you will truly be amazed at thechanges which begin to happen in
your life. Obstaclesdisappear, barriers fall away, and things that
youonce thought were either impossible or very far awaywill
suddenly come into view.
Any garden is an ongoing process. It’s not enoughto just plant
a single seed of happiness and thenforget about it. Your frail
little seedlings would soonbe choked by weeds. It is necessary to
continuouslypull out and throw away those weeds of fear, doubtand
anxiety as soon as they appear.
Love, happiness and tranquility are all contagious.People who
are continuously planting these seedsin their own minds are also
planting them in otherpeople’s. Remember,
Your mind is a garden.
Your thoughts are the seeds.
You can grow flowers or
You can grow weeds.
So ask yourself, what are you going to grow inthe glorious
garden of your mind? May your life befilled with love, happiness
and inspiration.
profoundadj. 深远的

不久之前，我和玛丽到乡下拜访朋友，暂住在一座客用的小木屋里。木屋非常漂亮，四周果树环绕，花开遍野，甚至还可以看到漫步的山羊。入门处上方有几行颜色鲜亮、字体流畅的漆字，写的是：
心如花园，
思想为种。
既得繁花，
亦生野稗。
当时我们不太理解这首小诗，但是后来它却给我们的思维模式和艺术作品带来了深远的影响。
起初几乎就像是一场游戏。我们决定努力去探究一下自己的思想，把我们在自己“心灵花园”里种下的东西看个真切。刚开始时并不容易，但是渐渐地，我们便愈发关注自己心中反复闪现的是什么样的想法。
当我们发觉大多数“思想的种子”都是消极的念头，且注定会在我们的日常生活中长为一丛丛带刺的蓟和荨麻的时候，这是多么令人烦恼啊！
渐渐地我们发现，在生活中遇到的诸多问题与困难，其根源正是我们不断在心中种下的疑惑、恐惧和焦虑的种子。
这的确需要付出努力，但与其他所有事物一样，熟能生巧。令人惊异的是，当我们越来越意识到这些负面想法时，我们就能说：
“不！我不会把这棵杂草种在我的心灵花园里。”
我会有意识地选择种一些更好的东西，收获颇为丰富。
当你开始有意识地去耕作自己的心灵花园，你会讶异于生命中因此而发生的改变。障碍消失了，隔阂不见了，你曾经认为不可能或很遥远的事情会突然出现在你的眼前。
任何一个花园都不是一成不变的。仅仅种下一粒幸福的种子，接着就抛在脑后是远远不够的。你那脆弱的幼苗很快就会被野草吞噬。那些恐惧、疑惑和焦虑的野草一旦滋长出来，就要不断地把它们拔除掉。
爱、幸福与宁静都是有感染力的。那些不断地在自己的心灵花园里播种爱、幸福与宁静的人，也会把这些种子播种到别人的心田里。请记住：
心如花园，
思想为种。
既得繁花，
亦生野稗。
因此，问问自己，你会在自己绚丽的心灵花园里种些什么呢？愿你的生活充满爱、幸福与灵感
