The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
-Michael Pollan
It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit.
Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible
Anyone that is fallen into the grip of lust, wrath, or attachment…by contemplation of the Supreme Being, with a moment’s remembrance of God shall he be saved.
