I have had enough of the snow this winter. It’s time to think happy thoughts of spring. So today my mind is focused on the subject of seeds. Seeds are interesting and quite unique to look at. Some are small and some are soft. Others are larger with hard shells of protection, and each has the potential to become, to grow and to thrive.
While on this train of thought, It didn’t take long and I started to think about other kinds of seeds. The kind not meant for earthly soil but for the soil of life. The seeds that sow ideas, dreams, vocations, courage, faith, stories and songs.
Let’s think about the birth of a song as an example. A song begins with a thought, an idea, a tune, some words, or some music notes. From there it morphs and grows and changes as it becomes an expression of the original seed. A song is a composition of an experience or story of our lives. It is a reflection of who we are and at the same time it molds and changes us into becoming who we are meant to be through the process. It’s art. It’s the creative process being birthed. A seed becoming the beautiful creation.
Faith also starts with a seed and it grows into trust, adding branches of courage, strength, hope and honor. These branches then produce fruit including love and peace and joy, which then brings new seeds. Now I’m sure you’re thinking what I’m thinking, so join me in singing, “It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all....”
Yes it’s cliche, and yet so true! From actual physical seeds, to musical compositions, to our faith, it’s all about seeds and how we grow. Creation is a beautiful thing when we see the complete circle of life around us. It only takes one seed to start something in me and in you. I’ve been blessed with many people who have planted seeds in me. It’s my hope that the seeds I sow will impact the lives of others as much as I’ve been blessed. I pray the same for you.
