Turn the soil
Plant the seeds
Offer precious food
Sustaining liquid
Nourish the spirit
A soul grows,
Buoyed–
A light shines
Reveals the path
With each step taken.
Breathe
Barely audible
Life giving
End of week arrives
I wait quietly,
I pause patiently,
I till tenderly,
Turn the soil
Plant the seeds
Take care.
Simple and profound
Thank you for the kind words.
Saint Augustine comes to mind: “The reward of patience is patience.” I took me some years to really grok what he means by this. My time as a school teacher were gone by then…
but still it serves me well today.
That is a lovely quote and one I had not come across. It makes sense.
