Wind-watching and seed-sowing

Mary Metzner Trammell

Fabián Héctor Smara—who lives in the mountainous province of Rio Negro, Argentina—is anything but a wind-watcher. After all, when you're a dedicated seed-sower (and he is!), you don't spend your time worrying about the wind. You don't worry about whether the wind might scatter the seeds or uproot them. If you did, you'd probably never get around to planting anything. No, the best way to plant seeds is to fling them out in every direction where the soil is prepared—whenever and wherever you can—and then wait for the new shoots to spring up.

Fabián knows these things from his own experience. But not because he's farmer. (Actually, he's a schoolteacher.) He knows these things because of the spiritual seeds that have taken root in his own heart. Seeds that other people—some of them halfway around the globe—have sown.

These seeds have blessed Fabián and his wife in so many ways. They've made him feel closer to the Holy Bible. They've introduced him to a book that helps explain the Bible: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. They've brought him healings. And they've changed his whole inner life, nudging his thoughts and actions Godward with fresh strength.
