MEDITATIONS UPON A SINGLE SEED
MEDITATIONS UPON ANY SEED
by Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
02/21/17
So much is buried inside of a single, tiny seed that it dwarfs our imagination.
So many bio-algorithms long lay within one that none can pretend to know:
From whence, or what, whither or thither, such complexity has come hither.
But one seed of any type: apple, grape, peach, pear, coconut, wheat or grass.
One seed. Any one seed packs life, perpetuity, possibility, ingenuity, superfluity, and gratuity.
Meditate with me upon just one seed. Any seed. Then may we marvel at ourselves in its mirror.
