More From Meister Eckhart

The seed of god is in us. if the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to god whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of god. now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of god into god.
Christian Wise Growing Up
The seed of god is in us: pear seeds grow into pear trees; hazel seeds into hazel trees; and god seeds into god.

My personal attitude toward atheists is the same attitude that i have toward christians, and would be governed by a very orthodox text: "by their fruits shall ye know them." i wouldn't judge a man by the presuppositions of his life, but only by the fruits of his life. and the fruits - the relevant fruits - are, i'd say, a sense of charity, a sense of proportion, a sense of justice. and whether the man is an atheist or a christian, i would judge him by his fruits, and i have therefore many agnostic friends.

Many people think that when we practice agriculture, nature is helping us in our efforts to grow food. this is an exclusively human-centered viewpoint... we should instead, realize that we are receiving that which nature decides to give us. a farmer does not grow something in the sense that he or she creates it. that human is only a small part of the whole process by which nature expresses its being. the farmer has very little influence over that process... other than being there and doing his or her small part.
Thinking Practice Agriculture
Fruits are always of the same nature with the seeds and roots from which they come, and trees are known by the fruits they bear: as a man begets a man, and a beast a beast, that society of men which constitutes a government upon the foundation of justice, virtue, and the common good, will always have men to promote those ends; and that which intends the advancement of one man's desire and vanity, will abound in those that will foment them.

The first idea, the first art piece i ever did, was when i was four. i cut the seed of a pear in half and the seed of an apple in half in put those two halves together and planted the seed, hoping a very strange tree might grow. and i never stopped.
