Description

The greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves are the seeds of our success. For within us lies the ability to dream a future into being. Our thoughts are like seeds and one-by-one we plant them in the soil of our minds. There they are cared for and nurtured over time. Some grow quickly while other will take longer to mature. Nevertheless they are there just waiting for their turn to take form. Sometimes we grow our thought seeds intentionally. Sometimes they appear because of some thing that we have thought about in our past and forgotten. These seeds are small miracles in and of themselves. The miracle is that we have created them whether we are aware of them of not. The most interesting thing about these seeds is that they can be whatever we wish them to be. Even more interesting is the fact that they can change from one thing to another depending upon what our desire is at the time. I like to think about our seeds as being planted in a wonderful lush garden. There we tend to them most diligently all the while keeping in mind that they are our most precious of treasures. How wonderful our garden will be when it comes into full bloom. 'Mary, Mary, quite contrary. How does your garden grow? With silver bells, and cockle shells, And pretty maids all in a row.' Now Mary had a quick and fixed answer about her garden since it was in the physical world. I wonder what our answer will be if the question were to be asked on the metaphysical level? Now that is a thought worth pondering. How divine. How simply divine. Our thought for the day is: 'I am the gardener of my life. What kind of thought seeds do I wish to grow?' Gayle O On your road of life you will meet many wondrous souls. Each one will have a gift to give or, in the alternative, is waiting for a gift from you. May the gifts you receive bring you joy and delight and may the gifts that you give bring you peace throughout each night. © Gayle O This is a single flame created in Apophysis 3D Hack.

Just beautiful! Just pure beauty! Love the idea of thoughts as seeds...my entire backyard garden was but a seed, an idea I had five years ago, and now it bears so much fruit! Well, flowers, anyway.

A wonderful simile for our thoughts being like seeds.... what a special way of phrasing such true thoughts and ideas that stem from true wisdom, knowledge and creativity! I find this image to be most beautiful, perhaps because of its softness, and the way it seems to sparkle and glitter... I think of the word twilight when I gaze at this---stunning design and absolutely breath-taking array of colours!
