We Plant Seeds

WE PLANT SEEDS THAT WILL
FLOWER AS RESULTS IN OUR LIVES,
SO BEST TO REMOVE THE WEEDS
OF ANGER, AVARICE, ENVY AND DOUBT,
THAT PEACE AND ABUNDANCE
MAY MANIFEST FOR ALL.

~ Dorothy Day

Of Note: Anger, avarice, envy and doubt are the killing foursome because they cut off Light and Love from finding a home in the mind. The fearsome four are fueled by a culture of the perfect body, coupled with the perfect bank account, coupled with the perfect lifestyle at a breakneck speed. Eventually, over many, many lifetimes, the allure and glamour of this type of false perfection wears off, and we are left with nothing. No-thing. Only then can we see the cleared ground on which seeds of Love and Light can be sowed. The process is painful, yes, but we are up to the test. It is the same for humanity as a whole as it is for an individual. That means that we are tested both singly and as a group. However, only when the group succeeds are we really free. So next time we see a struggling soul, lend a hand and help them up for only together will we enter the Kingdom of God. The faster the better.

Today's Weather Report: It is 32 degrees Fahrenheit tonight, and things are really drippy outside. Maybe it will stay this way for a few days and melt some snow. If it freezes tonight, we will have more ice. There is already a thick ice layer under the snow, so this will just make the layer thicker. A good friend of mine broke her hip this week, not on the ice but at work. Hopefully, by the time she is out and about, the snow will have receded so she doesn't have to worry about falling when she walks outside.
