Faith in a Seed
Dear Diary,
Okay, I'll admit it, I did get up and watch the royal wedding! I haven't miss one yet so I thought, what the hey. (And before you ask, no, I didn't see Elizabeth and Phillip's wedding! I'm not quite that old!) It was absolutely lovely and I was so please the sun shone on the young couple.
I was planning a day in Concord and I did go but the rain kept be from walking around Walden Pond so after I visited the Alcott house I went to the Museum of our National Heritage in Lexington and saw and amazing exhibit of clocks by, sadly, no photos were allowed. I did see this stain glass window on the way out and photographed it. (extra) I had photographed young maple seeds in Concord earlier and thought of Thoreau's book, Faith in a Seed. The window seemed to tie things together nicely. I think the times we are living in require quite a bit of faith. Here are Henry's words:
“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has
been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed
there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.”
