Planting Seeds Of Spring

Life’s seasons are amazing. This winter’s storms have already been savage and no doubt we will experience a few more. When you’re in the middle of a storm, sometimes you feel it will never end. And yet you know after the storm there is a sense of calmness, clarity and beauty. The air feels different and you only need to look up in the sky and you feel lighter. Eventually the season of storms winds down as spring approaches. You notice the blossoms on the fruit trees and the different birds that surround us. At night you notice the stars in the sky and the brightness of the moon.

It’s a time of new beginnings and we are ready for our spring ritual with it’s sense of optimism and hope. We are thinking about what we want to harvest. We pull out the weeds and prepare the soil for planting. Imagine, if you will, that the weeds are our limiting beliefs that clutter our mind and the seeds we spread around in the garden are our ideas…. possibilities planted in the garden of our minds. Sometimes when we’re planting we pour seeds from a package right onto the soil. Other times we follow a systematic plan of planting every few inches. Some seeds grow from the darkness toward the light and others don’t but what is more important is what we harvest in the future from these seeds. They are our destiny.

This spring let us be inspired by the ritual of spring to think bigger…to think about what we can plant that will transcend our normal way of looking at spring. Think of spring as a time of possibility. Be sure to plant some seeds that won’t have to be replanted next year, that will grow without you and can be harvested and enjoyed by future generations. We are talking about our vision.

Sometimes an inspiring poem says it all. This poem, written in 500 B.C. by an anonymous Chinese poet, is most poignant. Enjoy the poem and share your vision.

Here’s a vision for you. Imagine there’s a movie screen, the movie screen of your mind that connects with the universal mind of the world. You have a magic power that can influence the way people think. You can empower the world to think differently. What do you want the people to know and in what ways do you want them to change? What is your hope for yourself, your community and the world? Share your vision with me and others. My hope is that we all will share our vision.

"Mark became my personal coach when I greatly questioned who I was going to be. As a single mother for the last 10 years I had one main focus, my children. Mark has helped me focus on myself, my mind and this ability has benefited me in many ways.  I am calmer and more confident as I explore my future options.
