coriander seeds

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And Heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour

-william blake

.

so beautiful, so insignificant

so fragile, so strong

so magical, so ordinary

.

yet nothing can describe the fleeting thoughts of its transient existence.

.

the death of a seed, the birth of a plant. the death of a plant, the birth of more seeds.

.

we noisily come and go in our selfish existence, but silently they live on eternally.
