Starting from here, this photo above, we can move to either here –
or here –
What comes first?
The seed or the flower?
What comes last?
The seed or the flower?
Looked at one way, the seed comes first, grows into the plant which unfurls its petals and reveals its new seeds, attracts the pollinators, then drops the petals, then disperses the seeds to start new plants. Looked at another way, we can start with the flower…..
So, what’s the plant doing? Seeding? Or flowering?
We know, of course, that the plant would not be the plant at all unless it was seeding AND flowering.
Gandhi was once asked “What’s your message?” and he replied
My life is my message
That’s true of all lives isn’t it? Every plant, every animal, every person…..
