reticulate

the gardener doesn't always stay for all seasons

you may plant a seed and leave

the rain waters it

a passer byer pulls the weeds around it

and yet a neighbor enjoys it's blossom

and picks it to give it as a gift to the children.

we don't always see the spiritual seeds we planted grow.

but be not frustrated, for if it's God's will

it will grow.

we may be the planter of one seed

the water for another

enjoy the blossom of someone else's garden

or receive it as a gift from a neighbor.

but very seldom

if ever

are we all things to any one individual.

so enjoy your place in life

being planted

watered

blossoming

gifting

all perspectives and roles are equally important

and the circle of life will continue.
