Seeds

NFL / College Football:  Still 0 for the Season!

A few months ago I planted just a couple of tiny seeds at the back of our property.  

This week, we had a pretty hard frost.  When I looked at the back the next morning,  I discovered:

 

I knew I had a few, but I didn't realize that I had this many in all the growth and weeds (16).

So, I thought I would post of couple of pictures and some quotes.  

Cultivate Resilience in the Hard Seasons
    1.    “The tiny seed knew that in order to grow it needed to be dropped in dirt, covered in darkness, and struggle to reach the light.” — Sandra Kring
    2.    “For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.” — Cynthia Occelli
    3.    “Life does not accommodate you; it shatters you. Every seed destroys its container, or else there would be no fruition.” — Florida Scott-Maxwell
    4.    “The seeds of resilience are planted in the way we process the negative events in our lives.” 
            — Sheryl Sandberg
    5.    “When your heart is broken, you plant seeds in the cracks and pray for rain.” — Andrea Gibson
    6.    “Love is the seed of all hope. It is the enticement to trust, to risk, to try, to go on.” 
            — Gloria Gaither
 
Have Faith in the Process
    1.    “To see things in the seed, that is genius.” — Lao Tzu
    2.    “A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea.” — John Ciardi
    3.    “Keep planting new seeds until your mind becomes the earth that gives birth to new worlds.” 
            — Curtis Tyrone Jones
    4.    “Legacy. What is a legacy? It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.” 
            — Hamilton, the Musical
    5.    “Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.” 
            — Henry David Thoreau
    6.    “A seed knows how to wait… a seed is alive while it waits.” — Hope Jahren

I have NO idea what I'm going to do with the fruits of my labor, but I did reap what I sowed.

Carpe diem Life,
David Kuhn
