| A fresh new bean shoot |
Always a risk
to climb higher each day,
vining around supports with
no knowledge
if a deer's razor sharp teeth will
nip the steady climb toward sunshine,
no knowledge
of cloud cover or wind
that may slow upward progress.
Taking a risk anyway ~
the only task for seeds
planted in moist, dark soil.
“A seed, after all, is an embryo, a potential plant waiting
for its moment to grow. It has what it needs to begin.
But it can also put itself on pause. It can wait.”
~ Robert Krulwich, journalist
