Quote of the day:
“In each moment our experience is determined to a great extent by seeds from the past that are bearing fruit right now. In each moment, too, we can plant a seed intentionally that will create fruit in the future.”
~  Ben Connelly, “Cleaning Out the Storehouse

This is one of those statements that just make you stop and think.   It’s kinda a nicer way of saying “as ye reap, so shall ye sow

I have always believed “I” [as in the person who I am right now] was crafted by the choices I have made in the past.  For example, if I had stayed married to my second husband, I wouldn’t be working at 69+, I would be home every day doing things around the house instead of getting up with the sun [or before the sun as the days shorten] and heading out to the workplace.  In that sense, I chose to be working at my age, although I may not have realized that would be a consequence of divorcing him and marrying Frank.    It makes me wonder what choices I am making today, what seeds am I sowing, that will impact my future self’s well being or very state of being?    Makes you look at the entire butterfly concept of consequences on a very personal level – everything is connected not only with your present wellbeing but your future self.  And think about it – if you could change just one thing and unravel the entire tapestry of your life, then what one thing are you doing today that will cause the warp and woof of your future to take form and substance?
