Seeds…what do they mean for you?

“I question now the metaphor in which seeds represent beginnings. Seeds of change, seeds of hope, and so on. Of course in a world of linear thinking that would e the meaning ascribed to seeds. But hold on. Seeds lead us just as much into what came before as into what comes next....The seeds are a past and a future... they are travellers...they are immigrants, hitch-hiking with the cultural fusions that animals and peoples make. Taking their bread with them. Taking grandma’s recipes. Seeds get caught in your fur if you are wolf and take a whole winter to run through the digestion of a bear”
