Theme: Nature

The sower

Flavio was walking in the park with his father and was enchanted by the beautiful things he saw. Huge trees swaying in the wind. Twisted trunks, forming true open-air sculptures.

- This is fantastic! It seems planned by a genius. The Indians were lucky, living free in nature. I just don’t understand how they used to communicate without a cell phone - Flavio said.

Communication was face to face. There was no such a hurry and urgency like today. Look how nature changes slowly. We need to learn to live like this, in calm and in silence. We live surrounded by sounds and images, usually too loud, harming communication with people and our health - the father explained.

- I think you're right, father. But I can’t be without cell phone.

- We do not have to give up, son. Just organize our time, and there will be room for everything - his father answered.

The two watch a squirrel eating nuts and Flavio regrets the amount of fruit that is lost, falling to the ground. The father explains to the son that the animal buries the nuts that fall to the ground to feed later. Like that many seeds are forgotten, generating new walnut trees.

- But then the squirrel is a sower... - Flavio concludes.

- You could say that, son. He is a nature´s sower.

God made nature perfect and we have much to learn from it. Every living being, even the smallest has a role to perform on Earth. So it is with us. No one is born in vain, we all have a mission to fulfill.
