It came to me as I watered the garden.

I am sure this is in no way original (in fact, it almost seems I posted something similar a few years back. But it struck me again this morning.)

Faith is believing that seeds mature into plants that give fruit.

Hope is the expectation, based on your faith, that the seed you plant will mature into plants that give fruit.

But this hope will be fruitless unless the seeds and plants are tended with love.

Farmer's philosopy?

Oremus pro invicem!
