The Seed

A Series of Vignettes

By: Tariq Ansaar Aquil

Narrated by: Angus Freathy

How often have we shared a moment, a kind word or an assuring smile with someone, without knowing where in the life of that person our sharing will deposit itself and take root? Most often, we do not have the faintest idea what will be the affect of our exchanges, where it will travel to or finally come to rest.

Everything we say and do with each other is like a seed planted in that moment of someone’s life, a life to what end we could never imagine. Stop and count how many people you have touched, how many lives have been changed for the better, simply by a casual act or a word said and forgotten. All the while, outside of our earshot and eyesight, it was germinating as every word and deed must grow. Truly every Word and every Deed is like a Seed.
