Sharing with you things that are on my mind...Maybe yours too. Come back to Wrights Lane for a visit anytime! And, by all means, let's hear from you by leaving a comment at the end of any post. THE MOTIVATION: I firmly believe that if I have felt, experienced or questioned something in life, then surely others must have too. That's what this blog is all about -- hopefully relating in some meaningful way -- sharing, if you will, on subjects of an inspirational and human interest nature. Nostalgia will frequently find its way into some of the items...And lots of food for thought. A work in progress, to be sure.

HAVE SEEDS?...PLANT THEM OR THEY WON'T GROW


In my previous post on Wrights Lane I analogically hinted at planting seeds in the gardens of our world. In retrospect, it reminded me of the following story.

One spring day, a gardener showed his neighbor a packet of seeds he had just purchased. The seed envelope pictured a beautiful array of exotic flowers. “I'm hoping this will be my best flower garden ever," the man told his neighbor. A month later, the neighbor again stopped by and asked, "How's your flower patch doing?"

 “I'm sorry to say it hasn't done very well," the gardener replied. "That's a shame. Was it bad soil? Pests? The hot weather?" the neighbor inquired. The man shook his head. "Then maybe your seed was the problem," the neighbor suggested further.

 "Yeah, I suppose the seed was the problem," the gardener admitted..."You see, I never got around to planting it!"

 Getting the seed into the ground can sometimes be the hardest part of growing things.
