PROMPT — Who am I today?
Like a seed with a blueprint for becoming a flower, I contained my potential. I started deep in the ground. I couldn't sense anything in the dark, packed earth, yet the season passed. The Creator heeded me beyond my line of vision, giving me all I needed. When the time came, with birth pangs and uncertainty yet a keen instinct to grow, I pushed out of my kernel, pushed out of the earth, and burst forth into the light.
