AN EAR TO THE GROUND?
Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
A sower went out
casting broadly, without thought
of where seed landed.
It’s partly about
wildly profligate, reckless,
hope-filled self-giving.
It’s also about
hazards, the hope of harvest,
stony ground and good.
How the sown seed fares
turns on my response to hope:
stony ground or good?
