the seed within

“I think the secret of much of the unrest

and dissatisfaction with one’s self

and longing for a more vivid, expressive existence

is the thing planted deep in everyone -

turning toward the sun,

the love of a virtue and splendor that must be adored.

…One is always trying to tune one’s self
to an unheard perfection.”

- May Sarton

Until we seek God and give ourselves

completely to Him,

that seed that is planted within all of us

will never take root and blossom.

“God be prais'd,

that to believing souls gives light in darkness,

comfort in despair.”

- William Shakespeare
