“Few are those who see
with their own eyes and
feel with their own hearts.”
Albert Einstein

Today I took stock of my seeds, what I have and what I need to purchase, for spring planting. Soon I will be outside growing soil and working it to get it ready for the seeds.

In one of Jesus’ parables in the Gospel of Luke he says: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” (Luke 8:5–9}

When his disciples asked him what this parable meant. He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’” Then he went on to explain the parable and how the seed is the word of God.

Earlier today I received a picture quote I was reminded of this lesson of really hearing seeing and hearing once more. The quote is from one of the great intellects and scientist of our times, Albert Einstein.. “Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.”

May we all have eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to feel.
