Chapter 9- Horticulture: Meditation

Meditation – Grace

 

Grace – the first and highest Law
Of our Father’s Kingdom
Here on Earth.
A thing so totally pervasive
As to be almost unseen.

For in truth, what seed have I planted
That has not blossomed beyond belief?
As you sow, so shall ye reap …
Reap the seed of Karma’s bonds?
Never, no!
Rather shape hedge, cut flowers,
Shade 'neath young spreading oak,
From our seeds, seedlings and acorns
grown,
It cannot be otherwise,
He decreed.

 And even when pruning comes
Those doomed parts make way for greater growth
Toward the light,
‘tis Grace too
For naught is lost
Not even in death
But transformed be
To Mother Earth
Who too is soon to bloom.

He whose faith is diminutive
As the mustard seed
Has the greatest faith of all
Grace.

  Then plant and speak and send thy
thoughts, thy arrows swift 
 While Grace abounds.
