Plamting A Seed (from the book The Man Who Planted Trees)
I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.
- Henry David ThoreauJust as an acorn contains in its unconscious the dream of the oak tree and that dream expresses the coming into being of the oak tree, working with a person, we have to have a method of drawing forth what is in the seed of the person, the unlived potential.
- Ira Progoff, At A Journal Workshop
An acorn contains within itself the dream of a mighty oak.
A life journey, a creative journey, grows out of the seed of one’s song.
