I Love This Metaphor

I don't know if it's original with him or if he got it from somewhere else but I love it.

"Petey? What do you think?" Okay. How about the sunlight of truth, the water of grace, the fertilizer of ritual, and the loving assistance of an expert gardener -- who certainly need not be technically "living" in the biological sense of the term, so long as he or she be alive.

Sounds like the way to Spiritual (or Vertical in his terms) growth to me.

Thanks Bob
