6 - Shock and Awe

All growth comes with a shock. When a sprout breaks its casing and forces its way to the surface of the earth, it is the climax to a long and deep accumulation of life force. We may think that it came up suddenly, but in actuality, it emerged as the product of unseen and subtle cycles.

    this is very deep. things that appear to be sudden are in fact the products of a long and slow process and are part of a bigger picture. the shock comes from realization- human beings are wired to notice suddenness and ignore things that change slowly.
