It’s also important to realize
that we can become stuck at any stage.
Imagine a seed that is planted in a flowerpot.
It is fortunate enough
to be in the conditions required for gestation and birth.
After a period of time,
when it is radiated by light
(which it can’t see, but can feel through heat)
it bursts through the surface.
Now it can grow, really grow,
but it still requires conditions.
It needs light, water, nutrients.
If any of these are lacking
its growth may become stunted.
A small shoot is a miracle of life.
A small shoot may grow into a rose,
at which time its beauty is obvious to all.
Its scent is appreciated by all
because it has a different power
than when it was just a green shoot.
It has the power of molecular diffusion.
It may even re-seed itself in other ground.
But for all those seeds,
they will need to have the same fortune that the rose had.
This is why we need each other.
