Potential

"Man was never closer to God than when he was in the garden." - Anonymous

"We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work, which proves that man was not born to rest. " - Volatire
.
"Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." - Genesis 1:29

I have enjoyed gardening off and on for most of my adult life and I am always amazed at the power hidden within seeds. Something small, hard, lifeless and yet so full of potential. It is intriguing to consider how seeds are able to grow towards the surface once planted, how their mature adult forms are so very different than the seed they start out as, how their root system & leaves function to keep the plant alive and how beautiful the flowering blooms can be.
