In his of her life,
each person can take one of two attitudes:
to build or to plant.
Builders may take years over their tasks,
but one day they will finish what they are doing.
Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls.
Life becomes meaningless
once the building is finished.
Those who plant suffer the storms
and the seasons and rarely rest.
Unlike a building, a garden never stops growing.
And by it's constant demands
on the gardeners attentions,
it makes of the gardener's life a great adventure.
