A Declaration of Love — YouTube from the CEC Library

Yesterday, we celebrated CEC Uberaba's ninth anniversary. I received a gift that I would like to share: inside a small bag were a pot, soil, and seeds, accompanied by a message about how to cultivate perfect love. The message said: select the best seeds to plant in your heart, such as knowledge, self-facing, and determination. Scatter the seeds in the pot, cover them with three millimeters of loose soil, water them, and cover the pot with plastic or aluminum foil to retain moisture.

Place it in a cool location protected from light, keeping the soil moist. The seeds sprout within five to fifteen days. Direct your energies toward everything that can bring happiness to you and everyone around you. After they sprout, move them to a location with abundant sunlight for at least four hours each day. Live with joy and gratitude, practicing acceptance in every relationship. Keep the soil moist without soaking it, watering early in the morning or late in the afternoon, out of the sun. With continuity, your perfect love will blossom.

One of the great dreams of my life is to see the world blossom for good. I believe everything is possible. With a little effort, we can improve the world and overcome our personal unhappiness, neediness, and bad moods. We often fail to notice the precious things around and within us that are not nurtured like this perfect love. Nothing can withstand continuity directed toward good. This makes me very happy.
