It’s not just a seed, it’s a time machine!

Here’s an idea for a mindful nature moment. Pick a seed, any seed, and try to wrap your mind around all that is truly contained in that little plain package.

Within that seed exists, right now, an entire future plant. Every leaf and branch and root and blossom is already tucked within. All the ability to produce food and energy and oxygen - and future seeds.

Within that seed exists an unbroken line of every ancestor that has come before it.

Within that seed exists an unbroken line of all the generations of descendants yet to come.

In your hand, you hold a tiny package that contains life, and eternity.

And that’s one more wonderful thing about nature - it only takes a moment to blow your mind!
