"FROM THE SEED TO THE TREE"

We are as a seedling, blown and tossed by the winds, the rain, the floods, the storms, carried about by the animals and creatures of the earth and seas, some carried high above on the wings of those that fly. And yet in time we all find the same place to rest, we search for our home a place to become, to grow.

When we find our place of rest we sit and wait. In the earth we find room to grow, our roots slowly spread outwards and down looking for a good hold.

Our sprouts struggle and dig their way to the surface where their, they find the rays of sun, and the rain to quench their thirst.

Through the years of toil, of never seemingly getting any where fast, the slow process of growth, through the turmoil of life, the storms, the hard winter’s the strong howling winds, the blazing suns day, the cold desert nights, as we avoid the animals and bugs the critters that hunt and seek our destruction amongst the elements of earth. After all this, after all the pain and the toil over hours, days, weeks, months, years, and beyond.

Into the future we grow a hundred years or more.

Now see what you have become, no longer a small little seed but a huge sound tree. You now tower above all that once you feared, that which hurt, gave freely the hard early life one lives between the sprout and the tree.

Now learn wisdom for don't you see, you are tall and strong for all to see.

You provide protection from the storms of life to all the other sprouts, and things in life.

Feel good dear tree, for from a seed you came and into the tree you now see. Life’s journey are for the strong, with out the hard things in life your wood would not be as strong, not as mighty, not as sound.

So share your wisdom dear people, as life's events come now.

For we are all the seed, and we are all to become a tree.

It is up to you, it is up to me, to see what type of tree we shall be. Strong and sound, or like a dried up reed.

Be of good character and take great care for the Great Creator of all looks after thee.

Wado.
