Acts of Faith

heart balms for times of monsters

As a seed lies dormant in the soil, it awaits the right conditions to awaken. When moisture seeps in and warmth stimulates growth, the first sign of life emerges: the primary root.  The primary root of a root system, known as the radicle or taproot, is the first root that sprouts from the seed into the soil. It reaches into the darkness not knowing if it will find the right nutrients to sustain life. This delicate structure pushes through the seed's protective layers and ventures into the surrounding soil, embarking on an uncertain journey. It faces potential challenges like compacted soil, insufficient moisture, scarce nutrients, and lurking pathogens. But the primary root forges ahead. An act of faith, a leap into the unknown.
