Today I feel like I am surrounded by a lovely garden of delights, more or less like a circle. It is a garden of engagement. While it is a place that has arisen from my experience, it is also a circle into which I am constantly inviting others to enter.
I have been involved with the world in a way that creates great happiness. My garden of daily living has brought me much joy, and I am intent on sharing that happiness with others. I am deeply engaged with my garden, and I want others to find in it the same delight that has been my experience.
The circle is not a boundary but rather an open door into which others can enter. It reflects what has happened as I have become more attentive and aware of the world. The door of my heart clearly opens outward, open and wide, and others are free to enter.
The kind of engagement inside the circle into which I welcome others is a source of deep awareness and happiness, and people are free and welcome to enter. I try to place few restrictions, but some are more willing to step inside the circle than others.
The ground inside of the circle is soft and green. There are few rules. The air is fresh and mild. The light is bright and warm. I know because I have been living in this circle and it has become my garden home.
