If we all spent 3 minutes a day thinking of someone else with complete compassion, I wonder how the world would be different.  I mean all of us on the planet x 3 minutes...think of it!  The collective thought vibration would surely make a difference.

The garden I started this Spring has bloomed incredibly, and much of my time is spent out in the front yard,  especially in the early morning when the heat hasn't yet  taken hold and in the early evening, when it's subsided a bit...My garden's been a comfort, a companion of sorts, a classroom for passing children, a dig for the local dogs, and a blessing for me, the gardener,  who has the joy of seeing it all sprout and grow.
