The seed said to the tree 

"Do not look at me

For I am not worthy of being seen”

And the tree replied

“I look at you with pride and admiration

For I see your potential 

And capacity for growth and transformation 

For I was once as small as you are 

But am now fully grown

I was once submerged in darkness   

But am now anchored toward the light 

And I was once buried underground 

But have now ascended to greater heights  

And everything you are 

I once was 

Everything you are experiencing

I once experienced 

And everything I am

You will one day be.”
