The Little Plant and the Lonely Mountain

A small, unremarkable seed drifts up to a forgotten mountain and takes root in a crevice of grey stone. Asking nothing and striving for nothing, it offers the only things it has, a little shade, a little water held in its leaves, a few blossoms no bigger than a fingernail, and in doing so it gives the lonely peak back its company, discovering that beauty and belonging arrive quietly to those who simply give what is theirs to give.
