As a Man Thinketh

The mind is fertile ground for that which you cultivate Listen and beware for your destiny is at stake The dream of awareness may be heaven or hell By patterns of belief and choices at will If your mind is fertile for evils thoughts then pain and suffering is what you have bought Joy and happiness result from rightness of belief Tainted perceptions steal joy like a thief Weeds produce weeds like corn produces corn Love produces love like scorn produces scorn What grows within the garden of your mind And what have your thoughts produced over time
