I drive back on the interstate after going out to lunch, and I look at all the cars jamming for a chance to change lanes at speeds much higher than the legal limit, and then I look up at the sky and the beauty of nature all around the interstate and think, "how can anyone be in such a hurry in life to put aside the beauty everywhere in things not man-made?".

We live too much in the world of "right now" or "never". And doing so, we miss peace.

As for seeds, not only must we plant, but we must fertilize, water, break soil
around them, and often mulch them to get the really good crop we want. Life is a
lot like that, in my view. We may not have been given a perfect life, and life may not be fair, but as Lee says, it's our chance, and we do with it the best that we know how, generally.

When you reach my age and look back, it has all been--in the long run--better than
I could have planned or designed or created or anything else. Something Greater than we are is constantly at our sides helping thoughts to materialize when we try, I think.

Good post, again, Leed. Enjoyed it.
