On planting seeds

ImageLast week I was at one of these conferences where you feel good like a fish. You hear inspiring people, you are around people that speak the same language, have your same vision, hopes and feelings. And among the speakers a minute figure, but with an powerful voice read to the audience some of her wonderful poems.

I wanted to share with you the "On planting seeds" by Helen Moore, eco-poet/environmental  artist writer www.natures-words.co.uk - as it mirrors somehow my  and others work in promoting a more sustainable world; we plant seeds that might unfold today, tomorrow, in one year or more ,depending on the 'fertility' of the soil.

How I misjudge these smallest things-
dull and dry as peppercorns,
when in my palm I hold
a potency waiting to be sown.

Dull and dry as peppercorns
and yet in dormancy they breathe,
potency waiting to unfold,
sensing fertile sun and soil.

And yet in dormancy they breathe
and slowly awaken -
sensing fertile sun and soil -
to rise with levity and purpose.

Slowly I awaken
to these living beings I hold,
seeking levity and purpose -
how I misjudged these mighty seeds!
