grow

e·mer·gence /əˈmərjəns/: The process of coming into being, into view or becoming exposed after being concealed.

In all of our ancestral lineages here on Earth, if you follow the line backwards through time you will come upon the rich traditions of ancestors who worked closely with the Earth, with reverence for life and in awe of the animation of all things. 

Life as we know it is matter made animate through energy. Whether you call that energy God, life force, prana, chi or any other name, when you stop to think about it, the world around us is bursting at the seams with miracles. The seed that has laid dormant through the winter bravely pushes through the soil, reaching for the surface. The butterfly dissolves into unrecognizable constituents before slowly unfolding into a new being. In many ways We have become forgetful of these miracles, but connecting to the essence of the food we eat, the air we breathe and our own bodies is as simple as paying attention.

The act of planting a seed is to participate in the art of alchemy. When we plant a seed we put our faith in change and growth, and invest in changing what is now into what will be. We are powerful creators and when we carefully curate the seeds we plant, we can participate in building the world we want to see, from the inside out.
