Beautiful Seed

As some might have realised, I have changed the song on my blog to one of my favourite from Corrinne May's latest Album, Beautiful Seed. The song is the same name as the album and is really meaningful if you pay attention to the lyrics.

Anyway, just to share with my readers the thoughts that Corrinne May had put into when she is writing the song, I will just extract it from her blog.

Beautiful Seed

I think people often forget how the smallest, most seemingly insignificant things can have such beautiful possibilities. All it takes is one person to make a difference in this world. People like Mother Teresa, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. testify to this fact. But often, we are so afraid to try, to speak up, or to make a difference.

I named the album and the song ‘Beautiful Seed’ because I think that a seed is a wonderful metaphor for our lives. We are all like seeds. Seeds grow unseen in the soil and then sprout, and some seed become the biggest, most majestic trees and others grow to eventually bear wonderful fruit, and yet others, grow to provide shade. We are like trees. When we are in our mother’s womb, no one can see us growing, but we are there. And all the potential for our lives is present in that moment, small as we are at that point in our lives, we are who we are now because of what we’ve gone through. And just knowing that, makes me sad to read about the increasing numbers of abortions that occur. People have forgotten that all the potential for life comes from something small, seemingly insignificant, seemingly lifeless.

Recently, I read about how scientists managed to grow a date palm plant from a 2000 year old seed. How amazing.
