Do you ever think about what a wonder it is that life can be held in a small seed in utter darkness and against all odds erupt from the hard shell that has held it through all the weather conditions and then suddenly one day begin reaching for the light? Each day drawing resources from the world around it to exchange energy with the air and the soil eventually blooming, welcoming pollinators, withstanding new ways of experiencing rain and wind and hail, and then as quickly as it pushed into the new life it’s leaves turn, the flowers fall off, it makes new seeds and then decays.. going back to the earth to the feed the future.. Amazing..just when my ego begins to tempt me into believing I am big a seed goes and makes me feel small.
