Heroes Not Zombies

Look at this little plant. I don’t know how it got there but somehow a little seed landed on this stone step at the side of this wall.

To you and me it seems there’s nothing there to support survival, let alone growth and flourishing. There’s no obvious soil, surely little in the way of nutrients and it’s an exposed, sunny, stone alleyway.

Yet that little seed found enough to germinate, enough to survive, and grow, and, most amazingly, to flourish.

Épanouissement is the French word for this.

Yet again I’m astonished at the capacity which Life has to find what’s necessary to survive and flourish in this Earth. It amazes me everyday.
