I asked this visitor who he was and where he’d come from, and he said, “I am Service Being, and I come from far, far away. I am a roving ambassador who, on my planet, is grown as a Planetary Gardener. It is my job to visit planets that need my help with planting peace seeds.

“I carry the innate ability to awaken latent intentions of peace and service in humans and other life forms. I have been alive and doing my work for eons, but alas, the resistance I run across is somewhat disheartening. I wish I could say that I am one of many, but I am not. My planet is small and can only afford to send a few of us to needy planets. Your planet is more in need of peace and true service to others than most we know of in the many galaxies.

“It must be a human flaw that needs serious mending. I can only do my part, and each human must tap into their own heart center and find the inner peace that can be brought forth to heal your off-kilter planet. I will stay as long as I am needed, but there are others who await my attention. You must now do your part.”

And so it is…
