This past Saturday for the
virtual Children's Program, we introduced ourselves and shared some signs of
spring that we have noticed, such as the melting of the snow, the return of
certain birds, and the blooming of early flowers.
We then read and acted out a
story from a book called Zen Shorts about a farmer whose luck goes
up and down, but understands that there can be good things in seemingly bad
things and bad things in seemingly good things and that good and bad can be all
mixed up together and changing again and again.
Finally, we planted a sunflower
seed, which we will watch grow from week to week.
