Cultivating attitudes-A new parable of sowing

In case you aren't familiar with Jesus' parable of the sower of the seeds (Matthew 13:1-23):
³Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to sow his seed. ⁴As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. ⁸Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. ⁹He who has ears, let him hear."

Even though I snorted at the thought of gardening, I must make a retraction of that hubris. The reason is my perception of an acknowledgment, if not an acceptance of the feral impulses of reactions to the sensory stimulation of their environment. With that view, each person is their own specie of particular sensitivity with its own code. Allowing that codes expression to have its space, similar to a plant's sprout breaking through the ground out into the air. That is the gardening of patience you approach each person-even trans-specie communication. Like a gardener, your facilitating the conditions for the atmospherics to enable encourage the blossoming of the expression.
