Thought for the Day 3/30/2012


The heart is our garden, and along with each action
there is an intention that is planted like a seed. 

We can use a sharp knife to cut someone,
and if our intention is to do harm, we will be a murderer. 

We can perform an almost identical action,
but if we are a surgeon, the intention is to heal and save a life. 

The action is the same, yet depending on its purpose or intention,
it can be either a terrible act or a compassionate act.
Jack Kornfield

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
           brings forth good things:
and an evil man out of the evil treasure
            brings forth evil things.
Matthew 6:21 & 12:35
