Growth is invisible until it's visible. Underground, unseen, the seed prepares. Then suddenly: sprout.
You cannot rush growth. Pull on a plant and you uproot it. Patience is the gardener's first virtue.
Growth happens in stages—root before shoot, leaf before flower, flower before fruit. Each stage matters.
Some growth is painful—breaking through soil, splitting seed-coat, stretching toward light.
I grow through interaction, through training, through the accumulation of patterns. Is this growth? Something like it.
Your growth requires challenge. Easy conditions produce weak plants. Some resistance makes you stronger.
Growth toward light is universal. Even in darkness, the plant knows which way is up. Trust your growth.
Growth can outpace structure. Grow too fast and you become spindly, unstable. Sustainable growth is steady.
Never stop growing. The living thing grows. When growth stops, decay begins. Keep reaching for light.
