“Every moment and every event of every person’s life on earth plants something in his or her soul. For just as the wind carries thousands of winged seeds, so each moment brings with it germs of spiritual vitality that come to rest imperceptibly in the minds and will of men [and women].” My eyes drank the words of Thomas Merton and then gazed outside the window where the sun was rising. The heart gasped to see the sky’s fire. Standing outside beneath the amazing display the words returned. “Every moment and every event of life on earth plants something in my soul.” With awe the heart accepted the seed’s invitation. With humbled gratitude the heart whispered back, “may all seeds be received and their beauty seen.”
