What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. Matthew 13:24,25.

THOUGHTS ON INSPIRATION - AN HOMMAGE TO MY MUSE MIRIAN RAQUEL

Sometimes, upon rereading my reflections on relationships or my love poems, I wonder where I find all these thoughts and I find that they have a life of their own. Like a baby they have 2 parents and once they are born, they don´t belong to us, but have their origin in the Creator who was kind enough to put in us the talents and gifts that we have to lighten up the dark world in which we live. All my efforts at writing would come up empty if it weren´t for my Inspiration, the other parent. These thoughts first of all come from the source of life and second they come from the inspiration of my muse. I try keeping them for the moments when I feel empty and the mere act of remembering elicits in me a natural joie de vivre.

Inspiration is part of the respiration process. Compare the 2 sorts of sighs people experience and let out as a manifestation of their inner being's condition.
If we are depressed, bored, inactive, feeling heavy, sad, uneasy, indecisive, hopeless, our breath will give it away in the way we sigh, we have no inspiration for life, no zest, just the sour lemon!!

But when inspiration makes her appearance, watch out, a sigh of relief will mark a new season in life as if all those feelings and attitudes are thrown out of our inner being and inspiration acts not only like the cleanser, the primer that starts the engine, but also the fuel that propels forward on our way to a brand new future, we have a new lease on life, our senses are more acutely aware of the beauty in nature, people, there is a new hope a vibrancy and a meaning to life that was missing before....
 
Can you tell I have been inspired?
 
Oh yes, the breath, I forgot,... I get so excited I forgot the expiration... No expiration date on this inspiration that keeps inspiring, day and night, good for life, never runs out, better than the bunny rabbit...Clap....Clap....Clap...
