Spiritual Gardening

Our spirits are but seeds to be planted in soil tilled by our

predecessors

If the soil is dry and caked there will be no growth, the soil needs

caring and love

Once planted we rely on light and nourishment supplied by our

environment

If there is no illumination nor precipitation of devotion, there will

still be no growth

When our bodies are grown full the spirit reflects what was

imparted

Too often the soul did not receive enough water and sun

It falls now upon the mature individual to tend to the spiritual

development

However it so happens that we were taught little of gardening

We need learn what it is that will make the spirit grow, lest it

whither and die

If we do not glean, then we plant our seeds in the same dry soil

given us

Once we attain knowledge on how to nurture the earth we can help

the spirit to flourish

With the light of truth and the nourishment of Gods' love our spirit

thrives

Our seeds can now find fertile ground, where they will be given the

chance to sprout

These new seeds never having to endure the drought, we in past

endured
