In some respects human life patterns that of the plant. Where roots systems reach down into the earth in search of the nutrients a plant needs to grow, as humans we busy ourselves reaching out in myriad ways to connect with whatever person, thing or endeavor will feed our imagination, spirit and soul. Where a plant grows in the direction of the sun not unlike a little child in a crowd who hops atop her daddy's shoulders so she can gain an unobstructed view of what's going on, as humans we embrace relationships and belief systems that as directly as possible align us with our source. Where a plant requires water to sustain its life and grow and the natural source of that water is essentially the absence of sun - rain - as humans we too are nourished by the storms that arise in our lives.

Hi, just stumbled upon your blog (hmmm, or did I?). Yout theory about paralells between plants and humans is thought provoking. I majored in agronomy decades ago, and I still have a love for plants, especially grasses. Plants are nurturing, they provide oxygen and food for us animals, and they even nurture each other. Some plants thrive under the dense canopy of the forest, and some plants must live in trees. And, like some people, there are plants that get out of control, like Johnson Grass or Kudzu.
Anyway, you have an excellent blog and I will drop by often. Come visit my eccentric little corner.
