A seed knows how to wait. Most seeds wait for at least a year before starting to grow. . . . What exactly each seed is waiting for is known only to the seed. Some unique trigger combination of temperature-moisture-light and many other things are required to convince a seed to jump off the deep end and take its chance—to take its one and only chance to grow. . . . In the right place, under the right conditions, you can finally stretch out into what you’re supposed to be. HOPE JAHRENS
