Risking Two seeds lay side by side

risking

two seeds lay side by side in the fertile spring soil.


the first seed said, "i want to grow i want to send my roots deep into the soil beneath me, and thrust my sprouts through the earth's crust above. me .... i want to unfurl my tender buds like banners to announce the arrival of spring .... i want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of the morning dew on my petals."
And so she grew.
The second seed said," i am afraid. if send my roots into the ground below, i don't know what i will encounter in the dark. if i push my way through the hard soil above me i may damage my delicate sprouts ..... what if i let my buds open and a snail tries to eat them? and if i were to open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. no,.it is much better for me to wait until it is safe. "

and so she waited.
a yard hen scratching around in the early spring ground for food found the waiting seed and promptly ate it.

moral of the story
. those of us who refuse to risk and grow
get swallowed up by life.
