The Less Complicated...The More Miraculous

Really. What could be simpler? And yet what could be more miraculous? I was just sitting out on my small apartment balcony looking at the pots in which I'd planted sweet peas and nasturtiums. Sure enough, despite colder than average temperatures and little sun over the past week, the seeds had started to sprout! It struck me how simple it all is...Nature gives us seed, we plant it in a little dirt, give it a little water, and receive an abundance of colorful and fragrant summer blooms.

How did I miss the enormity of this before? I feel like I've just awoken from a very long sleep.
