Burial and Seed, Growth and Mind.

Burial- that return to the earth to a soil that is sometimes rich and fertile (but not always) to a soil that is almost inviting. This is a metaphor for seeds and for planting and though associated with death there is resurrection's holy promise. And what of the seed? so like an embryo symbol of growth sprouting with potential; seed as infant proclaiming new life. But though the body is a hull what of the mind? the brain is only tissue - it will decay... Still, the mind is perpetual through the sharing of knowledge -whether by teaching or through the creation of art. For thought is undying it is a gift to the future- unfurled as a flower it is a seed or a key to a magical portal it is humanity's only true strength.
