Fall 1990: Harvesting What you Planted
Many blessings of prosperity as you begin to harvest this fall all that you have planted in the spring.
In the spring, many people are busy with the planting of flower or vegetable gardens or both. After making sure that there is enough water and food for the garden as it grows, they then wait until it is time to harvest that which they have planted. They can expect tomatoes from tomato plants, cucumbers from cucumber plants and so on. We have a very clear understanding of what we plant is what we will get!
And so it is with the mind and with everything. That is “As ye sow so shall ye reap" and/or “For every action there is a consequence or Karma.”
So it becomes very important to watch what we plant and nurture in our minds. If we desire a beautiful healthy harvest in time, we must take time to plant beautiful and healthy thoughts towards self, others and the universe. Beautiful and healthy thoughts turn into beautiful and healthy words and actions.
Take time to plant love instead of hate, pleasure instead of pain, forgiveness instead of anger, and admiration instead of jealousy. And know that what you do plant does grow and you do indeed reap the harvest of what you have planted.
Namaste,
Cathy Florida
