Growth

~

Bits of energy dissipate and coalesce, eternally, reshaping our world.

~

~

Where does matter come from?  How does it organize itself into ever greater complexity?

~

~

What guides the subtle patterns of its becoming?

~

~

Gardeners ponder these mysteries as we watch seeds become plants become flowers and fruits.

~

~

We ponder the wonder of it all as we eat the fruit and save its seeds for the coming seasons.

~

~

In winter, we ponder these mysteries anew as the sky crumbles into snowflakes.

~

~

We watch the formation of icy stalagmites and fragile ice crystals.

~

~

Moisture, drawn from the air, materializes before us in the most intricate patterns.

~

~

We watch reality crystallize around us. 

~

~

Sometimes slowly, sometimes in a single breath; energy moves from form to form in its endless dance of life.

Water has a memory and carries within it

our thoughts and prayers.

As you yourself are water,

no matter where you are,

your prayers will be carried to the rest of the world.
