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.
