...Dear friends
I planted my tulip bulbs a couple of days ago.  They are hidden, now, deep in the ground, where is it dark and damp and hopefully food-rich enough for them to come up next spring.

I was reminded in planting them of how much like bulbs and seeds our thoughts and intentions are.  We put them "out there" into the ground of our lives, we water them with our regular attention and focus, and eventually we get growth.  Maybe even beautiful blooms.

For many years, now, I've experienced life as having an echo effect.  I may have a conversation with a friend about, say, living a writer's life, and a client, or a television show, or some other source will appear discussing the same issue.  Earlier this week, I was coming to an acceptance and love of how multi-faceted my interests are (music, writing, coaching, healing, etc.) rather than being a master of one.  That same evening, I was with someone who told me how she was coming to love and embrace how multi-faceted her interests are, and how it is okay to not be the master of one. This echo effect has happened so consistently, that I no longer believe in separate lives, separate processes, separate thinking. We are all inter-related.  It is a co-arising life that we lead.

Right now, our country and media is filled with negative thinking and deep feelings of loss and lack.  It is important to honor these emotions.  However, it is also important not to dwell there.  Now it is more important than ever to nurture those bulbs and seeds of thinking that are positive and life-giving.  When we do this, it is not only for ourselves.  It is for the vast, interconnected web of life that we are held in.

What seeds are you watering?
What blooms, when they are ready, will you be able to share with your world?
Write out what seeds you want to water & repeat them daily.

Here is an example, which you can use or modify:

I water the seeds of goodness in my life
I water the seeds of kindness in my life
I water the seeds of abundant creative expression in my life
I water the seeds of deep service to others in my life
I water the seeds of love in my life
Knowing I do this for myself, and for those I love, and for my world
