“Some seeds need fire to sprout. What if you’re that seed?”
Diane Wilson, The Seed Keeper

“Each seed was made of an embryo, a seed coat, and something nutritious, almost like a packed lunch. The Mother Plant, like me, wanted only the best for her babies. Some plants, like dandelions, scattered their seeds in the wind, while others, like some pines, needed fire to open their cones. Somehow, the Mother knew to dry her seeds almost completely so they would sleep until the time was right to wake. Each seed held a trace of life that would spark when given water, when given the appropriate conditions.”
Diane Wilson, The Seed Keeper

“if you can learn to come on quiet feet, and to listen, then you will never be without friends.”
Diane Wilson, The Seed Keeper
