That is what I feel with this giant chessboard board that we are creating to beautify the school courtyard. The squares have been painted and the art class will paint the border of the 100 square yard chess board with Native American art and pictures of the local scenery and indigenous wildlife. There are only a few teachers that support me on this project and many even walk over the board in disrespect but I sense how the students are anticipating playing some human chess where they will be dressing up in costumes. I feel that this could be the beginnings of annual event to boost the self esteem of the community but we have to go through so many hoops and my own costs...I just pray that this seedling will blossom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-79531518233126164622007-03-30T13:07:00.000-05:002007-03-30T13:07:00.000-05:00The observations are interesting that you pointed ...The observations are interesting that you pointed out about how the plant grows DOWN first, too! I am trying to plant happy little seeds of joy and prosperity!! And like you said, not trample them! Or give up on them! And release the outer protective shell! Wow - easier said than done!Cindy Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737043573500353883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-46329945560430777402007-03-30T10:54:00.000-05:002007-03-30T10:54:00.000-05:00At the very bottom of the page is a quote that I f...At the very bottom of the page is a quote that I found the other day... it is especially relevant to today's post. And gives us even more food for thought today.Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-38516623612913657392007-03-30T10:49:00.000-05:002007-03-30T10:49:00.000-05:00One thing I noticed right away is that in the pict...One thing I noticed right away is that in the picture of the bean sead sprouting, the outer protective covering had to be released in order for the seed to begin to grow. I also noticed how it grew downwards (inwards) first, and upwards second.<BR/><BR/>This has really got me thinking...<BR/><BR/>It occurs to me that if I am trying to sprout an idea (in this case a million dollars comes easily to me), that I better make sure it has good soil, adequate moisture, plenty of space and air and room to really take root, and that nobody (meaning me) steps on it... not only that, but I probably need to allow it time to become comfortable enough within me to release that outer protective coating... <BR/><BR/>And I'm wondering how much competition there is, how many weed "seeds" sprouting all around it.. <BR/><BR/>Wow.. I could really go places with this analogy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
