Your Garden

Today, build a garden within, a garden so bountiful and wondrous, so irresistible, that joy will be enticed to enter and then settle in to stay.

You will find the soil within you, in the peaceful center of your body. Go there first and feel the peace, endless peace, like deep and dark soil that can nurture dreams.

Next, let the river of love flow through your heart, an endless stream flowing through, combining with the soil of peace to create a fertile environment for your life.

Now look up and see the sun of faith shining high above you. Invite these life-giving rays into your garden, warming the fertile soil and making it ready for the vibrant surge of creative energy.

And now, let your imagination plant the seeds. Watch as flowers of all colors and varieties spring up, bursting through the soil, reaching up toward the sun, then unfolding in beauty and releasing their perfume across the garden. Each flower that springs from your fertile imagination is a possibility, an opportunity, and a thing of beauty just for its own sake, because such beauty must be shown and shared.

Let your imagination go further. Watch how a single seed sprouts, then becomes a tender sapling and then a tree. Watch how it grows and begins to bear fruit, golden pears that hang from the boughs, ripe and luscious. And now come the bluebirds of happiness, flying over the garden walls to sit on the boughs of your trees, orchards now of peaches, pears and cherries, all ripe and ready.

And now you feel that joy is already here. Joy has been here since the beginning, the driving force behind it all, the cause and the result, the presence and the essence. Joy and love, peace and faith, all residing together, all causing each other in an endless loop of creation and wonder.

And all of this is within you. All of this is created by you and nurtured by your heart and mind. This garden, this feeling, this wonder, is yours to create every moment, no matter what is happening outside, no matter what your circumstances are.

Whatever it is you have been seeking for happiness, you do not need. Whatever it is you have been desperately chasing for joy, you do not need. Whatever it is you believe you must have in order to be happy and joyful is unnecessary. You have created happiness and joy yourself, here within you, right now.

Nurture them with the soil of peace, the stream of love and the sunlight of faith and they will dwell within you for as long as the breath of life runs through.

Build Your House of Joy

Every thought you think, every word you speak, every choice you make in every moment, is creating the house in which you dwell.


You may choose to build a house of glass bricks, each brick a beautiful moment, a perfumed rose, damp grass under bare feet, crickets on a summer evening, sunshine warm on your shoulders, the smile of a loved one, the lick of a puppy on your cheek, joyful laughter with friends.

And when you build your house of deep emotional joys like these, it becomes like a fortress, a house of true wonder, where the outside storms are kept at a distance and yet your own joy and beauty always sparkle. It becomes a place of great safety and security, a place you can dwell within every moment of your life, no matter what is happening outside.

And after a time, you will find that you cannot be contained within that house, for your joy and peace are so complete that they must shine out and create a world of light for others as well. You become the house up on the hill, a house made of glorious glass bricks, sparkling with all of your joyous thoughts and emotions, and allowing the glow of your being to shine out to light the world.

And so, you have built the perfect environment, one that is safe and secure and yet one that is also a beacon for others. And it all begins with what you think and what you say, what you choose to do and be in every moment of your life.

Right now, fill your heart with beauty and joy. Right now, let joy course through your veins. Right now, picture the most beautiful day you have ever experienced and allow that emotion to live within your body. And as you do this, know that this moment of pure joy has added a beautiful glass brick to your house of wonder, your house of I Am, the perfect and glowing shelter that is your life.

You are infinitely powerful. Your power knows no bounds. You not only have the power to create a world, you are creating it, consciously or unconsciously, right now. Whatever your world is, you are creating it, moment by moment. And if your previous thoughts, words and deeds have created a world you do not wish to dwell in any longer, then change your thoughts, change your words, bring beauty and joy into your life through conscious choice, and the world outside you will begin to shift as well.

It cannot help it, for such is your power.

I wish you love and peace,
Carrie
