“Making your ear attentive to wisdom
Proverbs 2:2
and inclining your heart to understanding”
What you focus on spreads its way across the terrain of your heart. New fields grow where your attention rests; great trees reach for the sky there; and fresh grass seedlings rise from the soil you water regularly.
So it is that wisdom grows in your flower beds and insight suspends itself to your vines. An opening emerges near your succulents and bits of understanding take hold by your peace lily. This much is true—pain fertilises growth. And when fresh springs emerge from rock your mouth opens at the surprise.
