LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Darkness surrounds, small, encased in Gaia, nourished by organic matter from years past, I remain miniscule in the universal scale of things. I can sense the potential I possess, moisture soaks down upon me from above, stirring my centuries of evolution.

With each drop of moisture I begin to spread, tapping the limitless source of nutrients provided by my ancestors. Calling from above there is warmth, a promise of growth, of reaching my potential. Stirring within me is the calling of sacred energy from above.

There is a new dawn for me, as I rise from the immortal darkness, I can feel the calling of my potential. With certain knowledge that I must grow and become something bountiful, I reach for the light.

With my place of origin firmly rooted, the light grows warmer. I branch up and out, growing stronger every day. In this process I become aware of the diversity that surrounds me. Thousands of beings inching towards the fullness of there nature.

Next to me, atop another being there is a sudden blossom of color, I am comforted. Suddenly I feel a wellspring of energy, I final push to achieve all that my ancestors have shaped me to become. As the dawn of a new day arrives, I am surrounded by a symphony of color.

With the sudden realization that I too have bloomed as a single colorful note in this visual concerto, I realize my destiny, to grow, to learn, to honor the diversity of life,

There is coolness now, with my blooming, my experience, my knowledge of the great cycle I have manifested the minute seeds of a new generation. Gaia calls me back to her nourishing cradle, all that I am, seeps back into her cauldron of life. I am comforted in the knowledge that the cycle will begin again after the time of the darkness. I am whole and immortal having played a part, for a season, in the dance that is life. I will rest in the arms of the great mother.
