My dear seeds,

Today we are also going to talk about the land. I will tell you that here at Rose des Pyrénées, we are in full spring! Alegrias, petunias, begonias, daisies, carnations of India, perhaps you will call them other names and other categories too, thyme, parsley, coriander, lavender, honey flowers that are called alice, they are very pretty, white and they smell like honey. A very pleasant and sweet smell.

my seeds,

The story starts like this:

In a city like in many, food was beginning to be scarce and there were families who were very hungry and one of them was a father of a family who had many children and did not have enough to eat. Then a wrestling champion, a boxing champion, arrived in that city, he was a giant, the world champion. And then he said:

I issue a challenge!

The one who beats me will have a prize and what he wants. And all the people were afraid, very afraid, because he was a champion, he was the strongest man and as soon as he touched someone he fell to the ground. So there weren't many people who signed up to fight and win that bet. But there was a peasant, a peasant is a man who lives in a small town that had a little land with his children, very poor and they were very hungry, very, very hungry.

And he said: I only have one way out, I'm going to sign up and I'm going to fight. His wife and his children told him: But dad, father, don't do it, you've never fought, you don't have enough strength and that man will kill you.

And he said: No, my son, I will fight.

And he went and signed up. When registering they looked at him and laughed, they said: Aren't you afraid? No sir, no, I'm not afraid.

Okay. And they signed it up. And the plaza began to be prepared, it was just like the coliseum, great, very great. It was full of people, people were already beginning to shout, to worry, to shout, to applaud, when the champion came out they applauded, shouted, they named him because everyone admired them, everyone, everyone admired him. And of all those who had signed up, when they saw it there was not a single one who left, none.

And he said: But isn't there anyone here who wants to challenge me, fight me?

And the peasant says: Yes! Me! I'm registered since this morning!

You? Yes? You are not afraid?

Why would I be afraid? No, I'm not afraid!

So the champion seeing that peasant who was a simple man, was not very big, medium, thin, a frank, honest look. And he looked at him well, from the front, with that face that good people sometimes put on, a half smile and a look of infinite goodness. The champion said and thought: It could be two things, either he is a bigger champion than me and then I will lose or it is a trap that they have made me.

It may be that everyone has gathered and tricked me. Which may be? Because this man is impossible, he cannot beat me, he is insignificant to me. But what will be the trap that the people of the city have set for me? Or that he truly belongs to a higher school than me? He looked at him well and went to him and said: You have won. The man sees him and says: We haven't started.

I tell you that you have won.

It is done?

Yes. You've won.

Then he was surprised and the champion looking at him said:

Yes, you have won because you have not been afraid, you have come to confront me, you are provoking me and you are not afraid. I have provoked you even more and you do not tremble and you come with that impulse of strength, of serenity, so now I give you the title of missionary.

You have won.

The man did not understand, he had not done anything, he had not started and they already gave him the title and he won. And then he told her: But, first, I want to ask you a question, the title is yours, but I want to ask you a question:

What school do you belong to? Mine is the highest in this city. But yours, what is it?

And then he humbly said:

The school of hunger. The champion said: What?

The school of hunger. So the champion just had to shut up, they gave the peasant the title, he left with his bag of money, plus some values ​​to be able to do whatever he wanted, buy a house or take a trip, whatever he wanted. And he answered: I just want to eat and that my children eat. So the peasant man was able to enter the house, eat, feed, pay for the schools and above all smile and today he is still surprised to have won without raising a hand.

My beloved seeds,

What do we have to learn as a lesson?

That hunger is the biggest school there is. Because he gives you that strength, that courage, to fight for what you need. So we only have to fight for what we want, fight for what we need and we will have that victory. You just need to really want it and we will get it.

With all my love,

Your Jardinera.
