Sowing Seeds

This is freedom: to be a planter of heart seeds. It is not our work to shape that seed nor give it meaning. we should be like blind farmers not caring where the seed falls or how it may grow. Even a thorny poem may contain a heart seed for someone, somewhere. It is a gift that is given by one hand, that the other hand knows nothing of. The one who sows such seeds is forever free to take absolutely no credit.
