Fertile Mind

Your mind is like a fertile land What you sow, so shall ye reap You have two seeds to choose from Which one will you keep ? The first is the seed of failure The second the seed of success Which one will you plant That will flourish at its best Your fertile mind, like the land Does not really care Either seed you plant Will grow with fruits to bare You have the choice, which seed to plant Remember what you ought When you have planted that very seed You will be living off the fruits of your thoughts.

Well Simone, I don't know if you believe in what the bible has to say about these two seeds that the mind can plant. They are seeds of good and evil. (Genesis 2:17) And God said they are seeds of death, the tree is metaphoric meaning "mind". We need to learn how to plant the seed of love from our hearts, which will reap life everlasting. We don't need to plant either seed from the mind. Please if you have any other questions about this feel free to ask. Sincerely, Moses

We can plant those seeds in several ways. I love the way that you presented the idea here. Keep writing. Thank you for your comments on my work. Sara
