Planting red geranium seeds. When life is so sad, plant seeds.

While I plant red geranium seeds, should I be doing/planting something else?

Shouldn't I be writing letters to Congress? Getting informed about issues? Shouldn't I be thinking of how to help others? Natural gas fracturing.  Suicide in the Armed Forces. Monsanto and GM seeds? Birthday presents for young relatives? Brushing my pets? No.

No. I decided the world would not end if I planted red geranium seeds. I am taking a stand for red geraniums and purple dragon carrots. May the dead soldiers forgive my need to get my hands in the dirt. When life is so sad, I need to plant. I need to get back to something that grows and fills my mind with life not worries.

Like the book says all I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten.  For example, take turns. It is my turn-to help something grow from seed and rose geranium oil repels mosquitoes.
