To be of the Earth...


To be of the Earth is to know...
the restlessness of being a seed
the darkness of being planted
the struggle towards the light
the joy of bursting and bearing fruit
the love of being food for someone
the scattering of your seeds
the decay of the seasons
the mystery of death
the miracle of birth
