Summary

This quote suggests that every task or effort we put into our work has a lasting impact. Like a seed that grows and multiplies, our work has the potential to spread and create further opportunities or consequences. This emphasizes the importance of being mindful and intentional in our actions, as the seeds we sow will eventually determine the outcome of our endeavors. Just as seeds naturally sow themselves, our work also has the power to propagate and produce future results, influencing both our own lives and the lives of others.

It's funny. When we were alive we spent much of our time staring up at the cosmos and wondering what was out there. We were obsessed with the moon and whether we could one day visit it. The day we finally walked on it was celebrated worldwide as perhaps man's greatest achievement. But it was while we were there, gathering rocks from the moon's desolate landscape, that we looked up and caught a glimpse of just how incredible our own planet was. Its singular astonishing beauty. We called her Mother Earth. Because she gave birth to us, and then we sucked her dry.
