Every moment and every event of every person's life on earth plants something in their 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 our minds and wills. Most of these unnumbered seeds perish and are lost because we are not prepared to receive them: the seeds that spring up land in the soil of freedom, spontaneity, and love.
Thomas Merton
