The wind could have blown the seedin a million places more nurturing.
Yet, it knows not the difference.
It is a seed.
Life lives inside it.
The roots push forth.
Tiny leaves emerge
and find the sun.
Somehow—
in a crack—
a tree grows.

Thank you for sharing this. I have always looked in awe at trees growing out to the side of a granite cliff in the Sierras.
