As Paulo performs the seed exercise he says the following:
[...] "There I was, being reborn, wanting to be bathed both inside and out by the immense sun that was shining and that was asking me to continue to grow more." [...] (Source: The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho)
We are traveling on the Road to Santiago where we are learning about “Spiritual Growth”.
Sharing a Tanka poem with you about "a seed and growth".
the seed exercise
growth from an innocent seed
feeling the warmth from the sun
maturing feeling alive
after the birth of my child
My Thought's
This is a very interesting spiritual growth, but I have tried hard to start the “Seed Exercise”.
I’m seventy-six and no way can I seat myself on my heels and bend forward so that my head touches my knees.
My knees are old and worn out from years of hard work on the farm, all they do is crack and groan, I cannot bare the pain, so my “spiritual growth” by exercises are over before I even started.
I feel very disappointed as I was wanting to achieve this spiritual uplifting.
