Your mind is a garden,
your thoughts are the seeds,
the harvest can be either flowers or weeds.

The Seeds of Harmony
by Fran Hafey
What seeds have you planted in your life time? Have you planted any seeds lately?
I was talking with someone the other day. They were feeling bitter and questioning many things about life. They asked me why I reacted a certain way to a remark they made to me. I calmly looked at them and said, "Well, you planted the seeds in my mind and spirit, and now I am just trying to work through it and understand it. YOU, put the idea there, so the seeds were planted."
They agreed, that yes, many times someone will plant a seed by saying something or by their actions and we in turn react. That's how the seeds grow. From the energy we give to them. Whether it is positive or negative.
As I reflect on many things in my life, I know in my heart and soul, that I am planting seeds of love, hope, peace and light. I try very hard not to judge others and to make a difference by sowing seeds of positive energy.
What seeds do you want to sow, for your children, your grandchildren and for the world?
Do you think it matters?
Do you think the legacy we work on now to leave behind, will be a garden of weeds or one of peace and love?
I feel that our lives touch more than we think. Just imagine how harmony would grow if you plant those seeds and nurture them. Feeding, watering and giving them what they need to grow. Grow them to help make this world a more beautiful place. We can't sit back and wait for others to do it. We have to be responsible by doing our part in making the world a better place for all living things, now!
Look at some of those seeds that have been planted. If we choose not to feed those negative thoughts and ideas, then in time, they will die out. I choose to be different, to be me, to stand out and not go along with the crowd. I choose to find beauty in all things, and to go deep inside myself to bring out the good.
We all know, that some of the things our world needs to prosper and to be healthy, are some of the very same things we need. Such as:
Water
Air
Food
Love, and yes, light.
Let us be a light to the world. To a world that needs harmony. I choose light.
With the changes occuring all over the world getting our attention, many have joined together to observe times of sharing and healing. Make a special time in your schedule to send out "Peace, love, abundance and Balance" all over the world.
We all deal with some weeds now and then and even weeds have a purpose but we must be aware of the seeds we're sowing and be joyful examples of hope.
Lift your Spirit to the Universe in harmony with millions of others and proclaim peace everywhere.
