To sow seeds.....
In Brazil, some two hundred years ago,
a small village was starving.
The crops had failed once again and things were desperate.
The head man called all the smartest young men and chose one to go and find a way for the village to survive.
All the gold in the village was collected and given to this smart young man.
This was the first time anyone had left the village to go outside alone with the village gold.
Two years later,
the smart young man came back.
The head man was the only one who had believed the young man would come back.
"What have you brought us after all this time?"
the head man asked.
"Seeds", he replied " they are called coffee".
History tells us Brazil was placed on the map by this one young smart man.
In the last century Brazil became the largest coffee producer in the world.
So the question is what seed have we,
that can give others a future?
The seed doesn't have to be financial, it can be seeds of love,
or seeds of hope, or the seed can be in the form of a Dharma from the Buddha.
All of us have seeds that have not been shared.
Some seeds never sprout, never grow, because we don't know, or understand, that the seeds exist within us.
When we operate from our true self, our inner self, the self that has no ego, no fears, no thoughts of past or future.
This is the self that operates in the now.
The present moment.
This self, this pure self, knows about the seed.
