What kind of seeds are you planting and tending with your words and your deeds? There are unhealthy seeds of ignorance, greed, fear, hatred, and delusion—when we plant these seeds and allow them to grow, they bring enormous suffering. But there are also seeds of generosity, clarity, gratitude, compassion, and mutual respect. As Thich Nhat Hanh says, “Consciousness has all these seeds embedded in it. Which ones will you water? For those are the ones that will grow.”
