Seeds of Joy and Sorrow

I planted joy and sorrow both,
In places where my heart once spoke.
And under their shade, in years ahead,
Some will smile, while others tread.

Happiness or sadness, they’ll feel the trace,
Of emotions I left in that quiet space.
For what we plant, though unseen by the eye,
Grows roots in the hearts of those who pass by.

As Celine says, in that wonderful film, 'Before Sunrise' (i'm paraphrasing here), "if there were a God, he'd exist in the space between us". I'm an atheist, but i love the idea that the divine - whatever it is - arises from our attempts to connect with one another. Again, as Celine goes on to say, the magic must lie in that attempt.

Thanks Keletso.
We can chose to plant the seeds of happiness; whether or not they will be allowed to flourish is not always in our gift, but we can try.
