Your mind is a garden
Your thoughts are the seeds
You can grow flowers
Or you can grow weeds

That was very nice. Thanks.

In some forms of Buddhism there is an object of study and meditation called Metta.
Metta means "loving-kindness." They say developing Loving-Kindness will also
let you understand and apply compassion (toward yourself and others).

I'm thinking that....in your garden....Metta is the rain.

I think that's a very enlightened way of looking at it. I choose to grow flowers and peas. :) :P
