Picture your spiritual landscape. Do you see an orchard rich with the fruits of the spirit or a garden sorely in need of work? The seeds we consciously plant can grow spiritual landscapes of astonishing beauty. How well we nurture and cultivate the seedling plants will determine 'how our gardens grow.'

Any gardener knows that cultivating a garden is a process, and as the years go by, the garden comes slowly and mysteriously into its own.

— Dianne R. Costanzo
