What are you ideas for this? I’m expanding the garden bed along the front fence and am brainstorming what to plant. My street gets a lot of foot traffic and I want to enrich people’s experience as they walk by. Occasionally when I am out walking the dog I see someone walking with a sunflower they have plucked from my yard. This give me great delight. I like making a contribution to someone’s well-being in this way. So, what do you think I should plant for the greatest impact? Leave your recommendations in the comment box (or reply button) below . Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you.

mental afflictions
Any thought or emotion that disturbs the mind. Such as anger, jealously, anxiety, fear, hate, sadness and yearning. Also includes subtle thoughts/feelings like a sense of unease.
enlightenment
This term means a variety of things depending on the user. On this website we use the following definition:
Enlightenment is the permanent cessation of all mental afflictions.
The “state” of enlightenment is characterized by a continual abiding in “no-self” or the prajna paramita (perfection of wisdom). The “state” of no-self or enlightenment is described by some as being without consciousness (Bernadette Roberts) and by others as being a pure consciousness state (Eckhart Tolle). Presumably, the differences are due to different definitions of consciousness.
Synonyms: nirvana, gone to bliss, freedom, liberation
