the “Matrix”, the whatever-the-hell-it-is that comprises reality.

It’s that might force of slow growth that moves mountains. There’s this mushroom called an Ink Cap. It

An acorn isn’t much to look at, really. I used to find tons of them as a kid. The wonder that this little “nothing” could become the giant tree that produced it really didn’t hit me until I was at least 10. By then, I had my own garden, and knew full well how long it took a carrot seed to become a little carrot.

Over the years, I’ve been involved in businesses and hobbies that proceeded much the same way. It’s painfully slow at first, with bursts of activity and growth, followed by what appear to be plateaus. I say, “appear to be”, because underneath, things are happening which are not visible to the eye. Much like a plant sends down roots, seeking water and nourishment, ideas and endeavors need to dive down into the subconscious, the “Matrix”, the whatever-the-hell-it-is that comprises reality.

the “Matrix”, the whatever-the-hell-it-is that comprises reality.

It’s that might force of slow growth that moves mountains. There’s this mushroom called an Ink Cap. It’s very delicate, doesn’t last more than half a day, wilting in the noonday sun. Yet the underground body of this evanescent growth can crack concrete.

It’s the same for ideas, businesses, creations. On the surface, they’re nothing special. Underneath, they’re changing the foundations of the World as we will perceive it. I heartily encourage you to view your own new ideas, projects, businesses and endeavors as acorns -- with all the potential for growth that a little acorn embodies.
