Alone, in the dark, a single seed has been planted by loving hands.
Quietly, spirit covers this single seed with the powers of what it will be, while celebrating its seemingly simple form.
Soon, the tiny seed begins to crack open under the dark, rich soil.
Suddenly, the roots move deeper and deeper into the ground, seeking water and ensuring its growth.
While the miniature green shoots travel upward, searching for the light created by the fire of the Sun.
Swaying in the new fresh air, it realizes it holds everything within.
Though still a sprout, it says, I know what I am and how I will serve this planet. A multitude of apples will feed the animals. I will graciously provide shade on sunny days and clean, fresh air for all animals while others will make their homes upon and within me.
