HARDLY ONE

It is hard for me to discard the avocado seed.
They sprout so easily.
So eager to live and grow into a tree.
I have planted as many of them as I can... given the space available.
Actually more than the space available.
There are five trees here now. One is covered with blossoms.
Whether they will become fruit or not time will tell.
She is only three years old. A little young for fruit.
But it is hard for me to just through the seed away.

And there are the papayas.
Why do they have so many seeds?
It is not possible to plant all of them.
There are hundreds and hundreds of seeds in one fruit.
And they also sprout very easily.
But they all are discarded.

"Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth. " BG 7.3
