Monday, April 5th 2010


I got the shock of my life this morning.

Not too long ago, I had these little potted plants, planted from seeds. One pot had the herb 'lemonbalm', the other had sunflower shoots. However, after I forgot to water them for a day, they died under the scorching sun, drying up into little shrivelled things. So, I took out the dried-up shoots and left the pots of soil, until I thought of what to plant next.

Today, when I happened to glance at the little pots of soil, there it was- a little green shoot, no taller than my little finger. Baffled as I was, I hurried to water it and put it out on the windowsill to sun.
How could it have grown? I don't remember planting anything in it after the last batch died. Perhaps someone in the family threw in some seeds? This is so symbolic.
Could it be some sort of sign?
