Seed
Thurman Quote: “The Life in the seed bursts forth in root and stalk and fruit -- the whole process takes place within….Can life’s experience of itself at the level of tree and plant … be also life's experience at the level of the mind?”

Description: For Thurman, the image of a seed represents the potential of life and creation. In this meditation, Thurman explores the symbolism of seed as representative of life, vitality, hopes, and dreams that can be within and beyond. How might our interpretive practices take on a different aim, if we approach it as a practice of “seeding” meaning?
Reflect on: Interpretation as acts of “seeding” meaning, understanding, and life.
