THE LITTLE PLANT A seed is a little plant sleeping between the two cotyledons (a dicot plant). The cotyledons are the food stocked in order to sustain the growth of the new plant until roots will come out to suck water from the ground and for the leaves to mature to trap sunlight in order to manufacture its own food. As the little plant wake up and reach for the sun, the stored food starts to reduce in size until it will become dry and wilted. The disappearance of the given blessing will give way to more advance faculties that will let the new life live independently. The roots, stems and leaves are developed to work together in order to make the plant strong and to withstand the test of time. It will then, move towards the sky in order to establish its place on earth. The good earth will then play its role by nourishing it with water, sunlight and soil. Life with this new plant is so simple then. Daily, it traps sunlight, sucks water and sways to the breeze. It gives off oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide. Stem will get stronger. Roots will explore deep into the grounds. Branches will try to reach the sky. It will then enjoy the grandeur of how magnificent its existence is on the the face of the earth. The thought that it has a place on this world makes this budding plant more fulfilled and confident. Until one day, storm come and hit this plant. Dry season culminated and existence is difficult. Branches are broken and leaves are fallen down. The plant has realized that in the course of growing, it enjoys the bounty of establishing its identity but it also exposes itself to the vulnerability of some harsh realities that come in the package of growing.It is left at the near disposal of nature. There are times that it resisted by going against the wind but it gained broken branches and fallen leaves. At times it went with the breeze but the happiness did not last for long.This is the moment of confusion that led this plant to learn that: Whether it will go against or with the wind leaves will still fall down. Branches will age and will be broken. This is the cycle. The plant has finally submitted to the pattern of growing. It bears new fruits. There are moments when leaves and branches broke but the healing took place and they sprouted again. They are even healthier, greener and stronger. Vulnerability brought by exposure to the possible natural occurrence still exists. Yet this plant feels so certain that the fruits it bear got new seeds in it that will grow and multiply to many new little plants that will once again strive to reach the sky. So life continues and the then little plant lives happily ever after... Life is like a little plant. It is given in a complete package of essential things to be used in order to sustain it. However, it is also left to the disposal that time can only tell what and when...There are times of confusion but everytime it ended it brings new realization. Just like the broken branches and fallen leaves they will heal.

He needs the warmth of another, just like he needs the sun, and he needs to be loved in order for him to grow...and then he will need to plant his seeds, and thus, mankind keeps on multiplying... ..This is the cycle of life...planting the seeds seems exciting...hehehehehe
