Planting Seeds

“The seeds you plant may not fruit before your eyes.” Steven Maimes

The seeds you plant may not fruit before your eyes – yet, we must share and be true. We must use the gifts we have been endowed with.

In regard to knowledge, whatever insights have been given to us, they are for the benefit of others as well. These insights are seeds – some will grow quickly, some will take years, some may not grow in our lifetimes – yet, we plant seeds.

Knowledge and insights can be shared but not wisdom. We can hear words of wisdom and live by them but (in most cases) we cannot receive wisdom directly – we receive seeds.

We plant seeds and receive seeds. The seed of peace is an important teaching – it is balance with the body, the earth and all humankind... May we receive the seed of peace.

From Pirke Avoth, it is taught: “It is not your responsibility to finish the work, but neither are you free to cease from it.”
