When I was small, seven or eight, I planted a geranium at my grandmother’s house.

It had twenty blooms last year, she said. I bring it in every winter.

The geranium is thirty years old. Thirty-one, maybe.

This is the effect of complete attention: what blossoms when we dedicate ourselves to one thing.

One habit.

Complete attention releases one from the unconscious patterns.

You need not do anything.

Remember this: gradually pay attention to what is in front of you right now.

Pay attention; time is a construct.

Choose one thing to do daily.

And allow the geranium leaves to bloom.
