Abundance of Nature, Abundance in a Pepper

Abundance of Nature
 

Abundance in a Pepper

I hear so many people speak of lack, lack of money, lack of love, lack of fulfillment, lack of happiness. I do this myself. Today I picked one of the last peppers from a pepper plant that I've been growing all Summer. As I cut open the pepper I decided that I would save the seeds for next year's garden. I looked at all the seeds inside the pepper. I never really looked at or noticed how many seeds are in one pepper. It really amazed me. I realized that from this one pepper I could have pepper plants and peppers for the rest of my life! Even if I saved just a few seeds from this one pepper I could grow pepper plants next year and from those plants I could save the seeds and it could go on indefinitely. This simple realization really touched me. The design of Mother Earth is so loving, so giving, so abundant. If you ever feel lack in your life grow a pepper plant! And when the plant gives you peppers, really look at the seeds. Seeds are miraculous, magical, beautiful gifts and true abundance.

Julie, your painting is beautiful. I love the colors and the way everything seems to flow. When I read your words I got such a strong visual picture of all of the different types seeds we could plant and the good we could do with them in so many ways. Thank you for such an inspiring post.

What a beautiful thought...a lifetime of peppers stretching before you. Your painting really does capture that sense of plenty and fullness.
