The Will to Sprout

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
 

A good farmer never plants all his seeds in a single piece of land. ~ Habeeb Akande
 

Once more I am the silent one
who came out of the distance
wrapped in cold rain and bells:
I owe to earth's pure death
the will to sprout. ~ Pablo Neruda

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises. ~ Leo Buscaglia

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place, but a seed to be planted and to bear more seeds toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea. ~ Henry David Thoreau
