Split Wide Open

Seeds can remain dormant for a very long time.

How does a seed feel with that first crack in its hull?   What's happening when life awakens within and exits the shell?

The seed may hopefully land on compatible soil, get watered, the sun may shine and the rain may fall.  If that happens - Life busts out of the seed and grows and grows - it flowers, dies back and flowers again.  All along it reaches for and needs the Sun.  Thus begins the great mystery.

How is that first crack experienced by the seed?.....how does it feel when the first light floods in - when the switch is flicked from sleep to awake; like a trigger is pulled?  like a volcano erupting? like the very first fire?
