The seeds we plant, be they of kindness, ambition, love, or any other virtue, need all these stages to blossom fully. Every stage has its significance, and skipping any can result in an underdeveloped outcome. The beauty of this process is that it teaches us not just about the goal we're trying to achieve but also about the virtues of preparation, action, patience, and surrender. Beautiful piece, Douglas! Take care, my friend 😊
