feeding our Garden

As spring fills the air-our thoughts and actions take us outside and for many of us we tend to our garden. Many of the eastern wise men use the garden as a metaphor for our body. If we would treat our body as a beautiful garden-then we would water/weed/have patience/nourish and treat it with TLC. I am amazed at times that one of the few things that we can control is what we put into our mouth! and yet we will feed it junk but not put garbage into our flower garden........Then there is the mind-That is also our garden and is of course the ruler of the body. Lets remember if we feed it negative news-fears of the press-computer and TV violence and constant gossip-it will have a negative affect on our SPIRIT. We are what we think-so be careful what we feed our brain-for our thoughts will become our actions-our actions will become our habits- our habits will become who we are ....So lets feed it faith and love and positive thoughts and compassion and good health and long life for all..Ciao Sifu Mike

Words of wisdom

Hello -Welcome to the year of the Goat-and are we not happy that the sun is out and that spring is near. I have a few thoughts to help us enjoy the change of the seasons and the hours of each day. First lets remember that if we are lucky and wake up-it is an opportunity to start anew. So what are we going to do with the first day of the rest of our lives??  Lets be to LARGE for worry--Lets be to NOBLE for anger--Lets be to STRONG for fear--and lets be to HAPPY to be troubled.(don't forget our I am so happy ball)    Remember that no matter where we go---There YOU are!!!         Ciao     Sifu Mike
