Lessons From The Tree
Every one thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.
~ Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.
It is very easy for one to be awed by the massive size of different types of trees, to be awed by their beauty and the thousand and one features of millions of trees on this beautiful green planet of ours. But have you ever stopped and wondered at the beginnings of trees? Have you ever considered that one time they were quite smaller and maybe less impressive? Have you ever considered the wonder of the tiny seed of life from which trees were born? Seeds never grow so large. As a matter of fact they are a thousand times smaller than the tree that comes from them. Look at that tiny seed again. In it is a tree, in it are a million other seeds that the tree will produce for its entire life span, in it lies a million fruits! WOW! All in that little one seed!
The principal thing in life is that which comes from within. It is that which has the capability of bringing forth. It all lies within you. Have you ever thought of the wonderful inventions and innovations of man? Have you ever thought of how man came to achieve all that he has been able to and still plans to accomplish? Have you ever wondered at how it all started? It all started from a tiny seed. A tiny little idea, a thought, a vision, a dream, a desire. It was once a seed. A seed with so much potential. Now see what has become of those tiny seeds. Out of those seeds came forth all the great scientific and technological advancements and many more, that man has experienced. Have you got any seed at all? Are you looking forward to a bountiful harvest? Then, sow it. Don’t let it go. One day, the tree in it will come forth. One day, the other seeds in it will come forth. One day the fruits from it will come out. Remember, without the seed, there’ll be no fruits to enjoy.
