Recently, inspired by a blog post of Modern Parents Messy Kids, I enjoyed creating many egg-shapes out of paper. While tracing and cutting and stringing and gluing, a word that came to my mind often was the word, potential.

I reflected, in part, on the tremendous potential that lies within one single seed. I thought also of all the seeds that have been planted in the past, all the seeds that are being planted now, all the seeds that will be planted in the future, and of all the sprouting and growing that comes from that.

We could also ask, “Which seeds do we want to plant? Which seeds do we want to feed? Which seeds do we want to see grow?”
