The Sprouting Seed

Evil destroys instantly 

Good builds up slowly 

In our human world 

We wish for therapy that works in the same way destruction works 

Instantly 

But, in this world 

There is resistance to life 

Because life comes from God 

Not from this world of dead entropy and empty chaos 

And, so, for good to come into our hearts 

We must ask it to 

Every day, every moment 

And we must keep it from being leeched away 

By evil thoughts

By Bp. Joseph Boyd

(Ancient Church of the West)
