Dear God,

One of the oriental grasses in my contemplative garden seeded another plant in front of my study window.  Because they are well rooted and difficult to eradicate, I really want it gone.  After many years in my garden, I wonder how it rooted and popped up here.

That raised the spiritual question of what I seed and where.  Do I sow seeds of love and they spread and grow?  Or do I sow seeds of mistrust, anger and bitterness?  Have they spread as well?  What am I sowing?  Will it be as difficult to remove as the unwanted grass?  How much harm has it done?

Thank you

for the message

that has come

from unwanted grass

in my garden.

Teach me 

always to watch

and listen.

Thank you

for the blessing

of the grass.

Yours, Andrea
