The Path of Plants
Read the following from The Seven Paths:
Of all the creations of Mother Earth, perhaps none serve so fully as the plants.
Consider their service:
They provide food, shelter, shade, habitat, support against erosion, and raw material for the construction of tools and preparation of fire.
Is it just a coincidence that the creations that provide the most help happen as well to be the most beautiful?
I think not.
For I have known people who provide service after the manner of plants, and their lives have been the most beautiful lives I have known.
They, like the plants, reach to the heavens in their living, and in in their reaching heavenward, they have reached to me.
