Planting the Seed of My Intention

 

Treatment by Caron Ward, RScP

I don’t consider myself a gardener…I don’t really enjoy spending hours in my yard planting flowers or pulling weeds ….so last spring, I found packets of seeds that promised beautiful flowers with minimal effort…and so I sprinkled the seeds liberally on the border of my sidewalk and covered the seeds with some leftover mulch and didn’t pay attention to them much…I let the sun and rain do its thing….and now, I have these tall gorgeous zinneas of pinks and purples with  golden spikes at their centers that greet me as I come and go…how simple…my kind of ‘gardening’!!

In the blooming of these beautiful flowers, as in all that there is, I see the perfect Creative Force of G-d – or  Spirit, or the Presence, or the One Mind, whichever term feels most comfortable –  in the transformation of  these tiny, almost imperceptible seeds to tall graceful stems topped with magenta, lavender, deep purple, and gold…with little effort they bloom forth …it is their destiny….

It is in Unity with this same Creative Force that I live, move, breathe, grow, expand into life, blooming forth new experiences, and allowing the richness of brilliant colors to fill my vision… I plant the seed of my intention firmly in faith, in the knowing that what I focus on becomes that which I experience; in the certainty that as I release the need to control and allow G-d to create, my intention is fulfilled, my destiny is unfolding…in wondrous ways…in ways that I cannot even imagine…

How grateful I am for knowing that I am One with G-d, with the beauty and brilliance that is infinitely unfolding.  I am thankful for my faith and the knowing that this is true for everyone, everywhere, in every moment…I simply look around and see the beauty that is all around us!

It is with this gratitude and faith that I release these words into Law, knowing that they are true…

And so it is!
