Template for the Big Bang, Life Itself.
This beautiful little Sweetgum seed, worn down to its most basic features, represents all that we are, from the Big Bang to Life itself and all our individual properties.
The seed is the Big Bang as a template. It has a core. It has seeds containing life the are jettisoned outward. It’s intelligent in its design to be like a tumbleweed in its environment. The spikes grab the terrain and as they do they break open a capsule containing a seed then release it, thus starting the cycle of life over again. Another Sweetgum Tree.
We are that seed from the Big Bang. Here we are on our planet with its core and what do we do on this globe? We bring forth life. From Sweetgum, to bumblebee, to human being. We are all expressions of the same life force. Moving onward, together, but still maintaining our individuality.
Look closely at the seed that is worn down. It is a honeycombs of hexagons. Each contains life within. None of them are perfect. Most are bent, elongated, lack six sides. But together, they form a beautiful connected sphere that spreads life wherever it goes.
That’s how we are, each of us. None of us is perfect. We may have aspects of ourselves that near perfection, athletes, musicians, scientists, etc. But we are bent, elongated, some of us are missing pieces. I myself have been broken and stitched back together countless times. But I persist. Because I am part of us. Together, we form a beautifully connected honeycomb, and we spread wonderful life.
You sure are a Sweetgum to me!
