The Miracle of Life
A gift that puts one to work!
Let these seeds represent our potential for reaching all our innermost goals and for receiving this millennium with nurturing love, kindness and compassion.

1. Soak all the seeds in water overnight.
2. Plant seeds in moist soil.
3. Place the little pot by a window.
4. Water only when soil is getting dry.
5. Wait patiently for the first sprouts to break through the soil in search for the light.
6. Make sure to water as needed and watch them grow.
7. When they have all grown tall and green enjoy them or cut them and eat them in your favorite salad.

Participating in the Miracle of Life
In the same way that these seeds can grow when exposed to proper and nourishing conditions, we as humans can actively work towards changing our present circumstances so that we can reverse all the ills and sorrows affecting our society and contribute in building a better world. Just like we've done with these seeds, we can all plant our dreams in fertile soil, water them with nurturing love, watch them grow and nourish them with our undivided care and attention. This New Year let's commit ourselves to feeding our dreams with faith and love so that our innermost dreams can flourish and spread their fragrance all around this world.
Let's all do our share in planting our seeds of unconditional hope compassion and love so that we can receive the New Millennium with a renewed commitment to participating responsibly in the Miracle of Life in order to bring the best out of this world.
Let's devote ourselves to achieving peace and joy by making full use of our 'human' condition and by taking action in our lives towards embracing with tender love and care every single Person, all of Nature, the Environment, the Animals, the Earth and our precious existence. In this way, individually and globally, we can join in our efforts to build an equal, cruelty and war free world for us and for all the species living on this planet.
Let's dedicate our lives to cultivating and growing all the seeds
we've brought to this world, so that tomorrow they can become green blossoming trees for all future generations to taste and enjoy!
~ Love and Peace ~
Happy New Millenium!
