The Cycle...

A seed puts forth the sprout, small, sometimes struggling to become the plant.  The plant sends roots into the ground and reaches toward the sun.   A tree may take years before it blooms producing fruit and seeds.  There are plants that live only a season.
Plants bloom in the spring.  and a cycle begins all over again...  Some of us bloom early while others are late bloomers.  It’s all part of the plan...
