Here it is….
and now it’s gone….
There’s something very beautiful about these delicate wind-borne seeds. I watched two of them today, firmly entangled with each other, floating high up over the tall pine trees, sailing across the deep blue of the sky to……well, who knows where?
And will this seed fall on fertile ground? And will it push through the soil to become another…….what kind of plant is this? Can you tell? Just from looking at this seed?
I found myself thinking, here it is, the start of another cycle of growth. But then, is it? Is it the start? How do you find the beginning of a cycle?
While you think about that, here’s another one to look at. Isn’t it just absolutely amazing?
Heroes Not Zombies 
Did you, by any chance, see Avatar? Little seed-like things play a pivotal role in the plot of that story, and you echo here the reverence with which they’re regarded in the Na’vi culture. As someone who works with stories – and the significance stories can have in our everyday lives – I love what you’re saying here.
Actually, no, mrschili, not yet, I should say. On my list, but haven’t actually seen it yet. You’ve further whetted my appetite however. Thank you
Same thing–I’d definitely recommend that movie. It’s beautiful.
Good thoughts and photos, props.
