A miracle box (see below) was placed in my studio collecting people's thoughts for an entire year. I pondered the subject in my dreams or lying awake in the early morning hours. The concept revolves around viewing seeds as prayers.

Life begins in darkness -

buried seeds

fetus in the womb.

Encouraged conditions -

are warm.

are cherished.

are nurtured.

Pregnancy -

An inhale

of immense hopes.

of epic dreams.

of great anticipation.

Birth -

A huge exhale

Monumental

life explodes

first breath

begin again.

Creatures hatch,

seeds blow in the wind,

and

mammals are birthed seeking...

Life becomes rooted

growth.

growth out of darkness

towards the light.

Seeds wake up

Seeds are life

Seeds are prayers

Planted with

great intentions,

dreams,

wishes,

wonder,

innocence,

expectations,

trust,

faith,

belief,

hope,

miracles.

All seeds have parents.

Does the river have a mother, a father?

Does the sun have a mother, a father?

Do prayers have a mother, a father?

Do we carry seeds

from

the ancestors?

Do we fulfill

their

longings?

Can we heal

the past?

Are seeds

for this present life?

Are seeds

for future? When we

return to evolve

again -

this time

this time

for the seeds

for my children

for their children

for the planet

for all

existence.
