On Sunday, my UU fellowship shared in a seed communion. We received packets of sunflower seeds and
ate them as a group. While eating the
seeds, our interim minister talked about seeds taking root in the fertile soil
of our souls. She asked what had seeds
had already grown and which ones were getting ready to sprout as the season
turned to spring.
This imagery has stayed with me all weekend and I think it
will stay with me a while longer.
Spring begins tomorrow, the trees are budding, and the things
I could name last year but have forgotten already are pushing up through the
ground by my parking lot. There is a
storm brewing and the winds are blowing.
What a perfect time to think about planting the soil.
