The Garden

For the garden of your daily living Plant three rows of peas:

1. Peace of mind
2. Peace of soul
3. Peace of heart

Plant four rows of squash:

1. Squash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:

1. Lettuce be faithful
2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4. Lettuce really love one another

No garden is complete without turnips:

1. Turnip for meetings
2. Turnip for protesting injustice
3. Turnip to help one another

And in our garden we must have enough thyme:

1. Thyme for each other
   
2. Thyme for family
3. Thyme for friends
