Last Saturday, I spent 2 hours working in my garden: tilling the soil and removing weeds. I am amazed by the power of weeds. I remove them, yet like a wave they return. No matter what I do, in 3 weeks I will be removing them again.
Sweating under the hot sun, it occurred to me that weeds are like the evil thoughts that are unceasingly bombarding my mind, like a wave, seeking a place to inhabit. Some of these thoughts, related to pride, ego and lust, get planted and begin to grow.
I resolve, that as I remove the weeds from my garden on a tri weekly basis, I will remove the weeds in my mind on a daily basis, lest they overcome me.
