But with tender nurturing, most landscapes, either earthly or spiritual, do quite well. There are the rocky soils, in which seeds do not take well. Like the tough caliche earth here in Casa Grande, these people can have a rugged beauty all their own. There are the souls of rich deep loam in which everything flourishes. If carefully tended, most will produce fruit.
Rest is important as well.
The over-used land becomes infertile. We are like that too. We can become sucked dry. We need rest, air, sunlight, water, nutrients and love. The variety of our inner landscapes is good.
