Grey is the “shade of the decade” and “embodies the spirit of the post-boom era.”
So say the interior design experts and fashionistas of our day!…
Be it shop floors, apartment walls, or fine fashion, cheers to “functional & flattering” & “grey brings other more adventurous colours to life!”…
Will there be grey poupon in your today?
Be it mustard, grapes or pumpkin, ’tis the season of seeds that sings Springtime!
Grey skies and the short dark days of winter are bursting into sunshine and longer brighter days and germinating seeds! (unless you were in Toronto yesterday-snow!)
I think it was Robert Louis Stevenson who once said “don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.”
Sage food for thought in the season of growth, new life & insights anew!
Someone once said “a seed is the kernel of what you are, and also the promise of what you can become!”
My first thought is yes yes, we can all see a fine example of that in Col. Harland Sanders & his KFC bucket!…
Perhaps you remember too, a childhood ditty that goes something like “thanks be for the things I need, the sun, the rain and the apple seed”…
A grandmother and lover of gardening once told me she thought our thoughts can be like seeds and she often wondered in her thinking, if she was planting weeds or flowers…
I remember thinking at the time, there was flower wisdom in that thought!
So much of life’s flourishing can be dependent on our attitudes and mindset.
Do we need to be more conscious about weeding out some of our judgmental condemning ways, our sometimes–the cup is half-empty thinking, and shake ourselves from the seeming scarcities and disonnances in a day?
Could our Springtime 2014 be quite different if we conscientiously live each day in a mindset of blossoming peace, abundance and love and in togetherness, try to sing more in harmony among the communities we so cherish?
Me thinks a young puppy can be a great visual to highlight some of these thoughts!
…and they call puppy…
