Charity is the entrance to the garden.

This garden is your life. Of course, there are the occasional weeds—but more than anything, this garden is filled with so much life!

This plant represents what's happening inside of you. The world, like the soil, is cold and dark—layered with a history of destruction and death. You were planted in this world to rise above it. Do you not see? The very existence of this darkness gives you the opportunity to become a light to the world.

Each of us is like seed, planted by the Good Gardener so we might grow into something majestic.

The pumpkin itself is a symbol for mortality. Like mortals, the pumpkin seed is planted in the darkness of the earth, where it is left to search for the light. When the plant finally sprouts, it travels along the ground, as if in search of its place in the world. Then, once the pumpkin has found its place, it blossoms into a fruit that towers above all others. And when the pumpkin is ripe, it's a veritable life-giving force.

You have planted many seeds in the garden of possibilities. Meditation is the art removing the weeds from the garden of possibilities.
