Listen

Hush, my mind.

Leave the litter far behind.

Cultivate today.

 

Calm, my heart.

Sow the seeds of my new start.

Water them each day.

 

CHORUS:

Listen, listen, listen,

in the stillness of the heart.

Carefully tend the garden everyday.

 

Live in, live in, live in,

the place of love in your heart.

Open up the gate. Heaven waits.

 

 

 

Relax, my gut.

Pull the weed and turn the duff.

Fertile soils await.

 

Face the sun,

and honor where the shadows come.

Adversity grows grace.

 

BRIDGE:

And though the seasons come,

I am strong enough

to make my way right through them.

 

My feet will find the path,

and release the grasp

of any broken branches.

My heart, it knows the way.

 

 

CHORUS:

Listen, listen, listen,

in the stillness of the heart.

Carefully tend the garden everyday.

 

Live in, live in, live in,

the place of love in your heart.

Open up the gate. 

(repeat)

 

…Live in, live in, live in,

the field of love in your heart.

Open up the gate. Heaven waits.

Insider Notes

Many people know and believe that the heart is where we connect with Source or divine love, our intuition and higher self. As with any practice, the more time and attention we devote to opening the channels of love, awareness and communication with this energy center, the easier it is to tap into inner peace and wisdom. I think of my heart as a sacred garden to carefully tend, with many wonderful rewards. We each have the opportunity to discover that for ourselves. Happy gardening!
