Mustard Seed

We all came from one black mustard seed.
expanding into billions
blowing into every
concrete crack
jungle leaf
burning cay
mountain top
ocean wave
fjords and caves
expanding stars
speed of light

The great contraction
back to
one black mustard seed from which we came.

Very cool. Reminds me of a fantastic talk I heard by Brian Greene, theoretical physicist. This one's a fave for me. xomo
