The Symbolic Seed

There are thousands and thousands of seeds.  We find them everywhere.  There are sunflower seeds at baseball games, black watermelon seeds we spit out at summer barbecues, seeds attached to the end of the dandelions we wish on, and seeds of many types littering the ground in the fall.  So what is a seed?  What do seeds do?  A seed, although often small and seemingly insignificant, is something if planted and nurtured, can grow into something truly amazing.  

Seeds are everywhere, both figuratively and literally.  I want to look for the seeds in life, the ones that were planted long ago in order to get me where I am today, as well as the ones that are being continually planted, constantly causing great things to bloom and grow around me.  

New seeds are planted every day.  So many things in life are constantly changing, new opportunities are always arising, and all because at one point, a seed of something was planted.  I want to recognize all of the little seeds in my life that have (or will have) the big impact on my life.  

Now that's a pretty big tree to grow from one tiny seed!
