The Garden of the Mind

by Selma Sayre

 

In stillness of the heart of the Mind of God

Centered in the soul
Is an eternal garden where one may
Dwell in quiet solitude. In this garden,
Brahmam, the One without a second,
Cares for myriad plants with a tenderness
Only the Original Gardener knows.

 

Colors, awesome to behold, beckon one to
Come, sit near, relax, allow the senses
To experience heights of ecstasy
Unknown in a worldly garden.
The scent of roses mingled with jasmine,
Carnations, marigolds and petunias
Excite and delight the olfactory nerves.

 

It is a kaleidoscope of dancing color
Made real through spiritual vision.
Watching blossoms slowly open causes me

To hear and feel an ever so gentle breeze

Blowing gossamer petals of unfathomable colors
Blending, flowing, merging
Into a heavenly rainbow.

 

The Garden of the Mind is a gift to one and all.
While encountering the variety and exquisite beauty
Of the Garden, God roams about in the heart
Whispering in the silence in a still, small voice saying,
“Whoever you are, wherever you are, be aware that
The Original Garden of Love awaits every being.
Know, I am you, you are I, We are One not two.”

 

People, flowers, plants, animals, minerals, everything
Everywhere are made from the same elements.
In this awesome world of change, opportunities arise
For individuals to blossom into superb
Human beings who tend the gentle buds of youth.
To attain the most from life remember, the
Garden of the Mind is available to be explored.
