Mind

PHILOSOPHY
Within each seed, is the full and absolute potential of the plant it will grow into. The biological code that determines each species is a grand design that requires just the right conditions in order to sprout. Yet even if it never does, each seed is always whole, complete unto itself, nurturing the dream of the mighty oak or humble blade of grass it will become. For each seed knows that it has a unique and special purpose and it remembers which dream to nurture. Oak or grass? It matters not-the seed is simply here to be sown. At this time of immense global upheaval, which seed of infinite love are you here to sow?
