Intentional Seed Sowing

I am a seed.

I look small and lifeless, but inside of me is a

Mysterious powerful indwelling LIFE.

When I meet soil, water, and light,

It's as though a resurrection happens.

For there, in the soil, as I lie still,

I am not dormant, but

Busy, incubating life within.

Add some water and some warmth and the

Miracle happens.

My favorite place to be be sown is in the human heart.

I can lie still literally for years but

When mixed with the water of tears and

The warmth of love,

I will provide a resurrection experience.

A sun rise experience.

A new birth experience.

So do not grow faint-hearted or weary.

Sow your seeds of kindness, compassion, faithfulness,

Love and mercy.

Sow abundantly, not sparingly,

For a packet of seeds costs so little.

But when you visit the heart-garden overunning,

You will be amazed.

Journey

Wish I knew who deserved credit for this: "If as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things, if we consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill every moment of our lives with action, when will we have time to make the long slow journey across the desert as did the magi, or sit and watch the stars as did the shepherds, or brood over the coming of the child as did Mary? For each one of us there is a desert to travel, a star to discover and a being within ourselves to bring to life."
