This found me at the right time⊠đ±
Feeling very much like that seed lately - growing quietly, even in the dark.
My dear friend Georgi Dad's Holiday Thoughts captured something so honest and comforting here.
Sending you all a soft midweek.đ«¶đŒ

The Courage of a Seed
Imagine a tiny seed buried in the soil.
From the outside, it looks small and unimportant. You could hold it between your fingers and almost forget it is there. But inside that quiet shell lives something extraordinaryâthe blueprint of a tree, a flower, or a whole garden.
The seed already knows how to grow.
But before it can reach the sunlight, it must face the darkness.
When a seed falls into the ground, it disappears beneath the soil. Above it are stones, tangled roots, and heavy earth pressing from every direction. It cannot see the sun. It has never felt the wind.
And yet it still grows upward.
That is the courage of the seed.
Not certainty. Not guarantees. Just movement toward the light.
Sometimes the soil is soft and the seed rises easily. But sometimes the ground is hard. Rocks block the way. Weeds compete for space. The journey becomes slower and more difficult.
Still, the seed continues.
Because growth is not about force. It is about persistence.
In many ways, people are like seeds. Each of us carries something beautiful insideâkindness, creativity, courage, dreams waiting to grow. But life can place stones above us.
Doubt. Fear. Old wounds. The expectations of others.
These things sit on our roots and make us believe we cannot rise.
But nature shows us something important.
Growth does not begin by forcing yourself to become something new. It begins by gently removing what blocks the light.
When the soil softens⊠the seed grows.
When the space appears⊠the roots expand.
And one day, a small green sprout breaks through the surface.
So instead of asking, How do I become more?
Maybe the better question is:
What is covering my seed?
Move the stones away, little by little.
And watch what begins to grow.
