"A plant is a weed only within a certain context;
one person's weed is another person's wildflower."

Weeds
We are the gardeners of our life. We need to have vigilance while weeding our plot in life so the weeds do not choke out our dreams. We have to enrichen our personal growing space with exposure to inspiration and fertilization through sifting through ancient wisdom.
While all of this is good and true, we must also be mindful what we consider weeds very well may be someone else's favorite blossom. What is our discard is another person's treasure. So we are really respecting and honoring our personal choice as well as the choices of others.
No garden is ever the same which encourages us to be wildly creative with color, design, and originality. Even if our intention is to copy, the end result is always marked in some slight way by our unique print. As gardeners, we must be careful where we plant our seeds. We cannot toss them into the darkness or out of the realm of rain drops. There must be sunshine and even the tears help in our growth. We must withstand the storms and tolerate the hail, believing that we will eventually blossom into radiant life.
