If you haven't heard what's happening with seeds, let me tell you. They're disappearing, about like every damn thing else.

But I'm not going to talk about anything that makes us feel hopeless, or despairing, because there's no despair in a seed. There's only life, waiting for the right conditions--sun and water, warmth and soil--to be set free. Every day millions upon millions of seeds lift their two green wings.
