The Little Seed

The Creator spread seed all throughout the land. One particular little seed landed in the soil and began to take root. As the roots grew so did its awareness. It looked around and saw other seedlings coming of age. The little seed was curious about this place that it landed on. As it moved around the soil, the sun shown and the rain fell and it grew and grew. The little seed was now able to see further into the distance and noticed a great wall. It moved toward this wall and as it inched closer, the wall seemed to grow in height. Once the little seed finally touched the wall with its leaves it could not see where the top ends and where the sky begins. Other curious seedlings start to gather and they too want to see what’s on the other side of this wall. They bonded their roots together and grew and grew. The more seedlings that joined them, the more they were able to scale the wall. Until one day, the little seed finally reached the top of the wall and sees that there is an entire world beyond. Giants and enormous seedlings of timeless age. Full of lush green life and infinite water and soil. As the little seed grew and grew it was able to see further into the distance. Again, another wall of epic proportions in comparison to the first wall. What mysteries lie beyond this one? It tried to grow and grow but the little seed could not grow anymore. All the seedling have joined and there is no more space within the walls of the pot it landed in. The little seed has worked so hard with everyone and they were happy where they were. But the little seed longed for the adventure that lies beyond that great wall. All the seedlings that held him up wanted the little seed to stay with them. But the dream inside the little seed’s heart was greater than the pot he landed in. If only I l had landed out of this pot, I could get there. The little seed grew old, always looking into the distance at the great wall. It was time for him to move on. The seedlings have never seen what happens to seedlings after they die. They watched the little seed suddenly burst in height about twice as tall as they stood together. They watched the little seed dissolve himself into tiny sparkling particles. The wind picks up and pulls the pieces of the little seed up and away from the pot. Watching this miracle, they see the little seed riding the wind toward the next great wall.
