“Every
moment and every event of every person’s life on earth plants something in her
or his soul. For just as the wind carries thousands of winged seeds, so
each moment brings with it germs of spiritual vitality that come to rest
imperceptibly in the minds and wills of men and women. Most of these
unnumbered seeds perish and are lost, for such seeds as these cannot spring up
anywhere except in the good soil of freedom, spontaneity and love.”
Thomas Merton
