SEEDS

"A Natural Garden", oil,
by Mary Maxam

 As April gets set to show us some sunshine and warm weather (we hope), I’m thinking of seeds and the sort of ground they need to sprout up and succeed – not just the seeds of plants, but the seeds of a good life, as well. Just as the seeds of flowers will prosper if the soil is in good shape, so will the seeds of a promising life unfold and thrive when planted in a generous and nourishing heart. Rock-strewn soil won’t promote the growth of new grass, and neither will closed and complaining minds make it easy for happiness to take root. This spring in Mystic, flowers will flourish only in good ground, and inspiring feelings will unfold only in bright and spacious hearts.
