May 31--Wonder and Respect

Be a little kinder than you have to.  --E. Lockhart

    Today we are talking about wonder. I drive once a week to Clearwater, a small town southwest of Wichita. I did tax work there for many years, and I still teach MELT Method there weekly, so I know many residents. The drive takes me past hundreds of acres of farmland. 
    Consider a kernal of corn. That's a seed about the size of your little fingernail. In the example photo below, thousands of those have been inserted into the bare soil. Something "magical" happens. Earth energy, sun energy, moisture--these combine and turn into plants that grow several feet tall and produce more seeds, i.e. ears of corn. This is a wonderful and amazing thing which we may not think about when we are slathering butter on a juicy fresh cob. Our magnificent Mother is willing to feed and delight us in infinite ways. Let us appreciate and respect her and take good care of her.
