“Walk out on your driveway, or on a pavement around your home and study the concrete closely; it’s starting to break. The earth will only tolerate tarmac for so long. How do those buds make their way through inches, even feet, of solid industrial paving, to send a few gentle sprouts up to the open air?
Build, raze, or pave how you will, manicure your lawns as you choose, dig swimming pools or raise towers, and yet sooner or later, nature will break through. But this is not a cause for despair at how your plans are being confounded – for you are a part of nature as well. Like these April sprouts, keep growing, keep pushing up through the crevices toward the sun.”
