You're not just taking home a seedling; you're carrying the start of an
ecosystem.\\
How it roots, branches, and fruits depends as much on the unseen climate
of the heart as on sunlight or soil.\\
This hand-out invites you to explore your own \textbf{inner
weather}---then watch your new plant flourish in step with you.

\begin{quote}
\textbf{Contemplation:} Bring to mind a single relationship---yourself,
a loved one, even the plant in your hand---and whisper inwardly: ``You
are worthy. I see you.''\\
\textbf{Ripple:} Honest, gentle connections; courage to relate without
masks.

\begin{quote}
\textbf{Contemplation:} Picture a golden thread linking you, your plant,
and \textbf{all} who will ever encounter it---family, neighbours, future
children, passing strangers.\\
\textbf{Ripple:} Cooperative networks that exchange support as naturally
as trees trade sugars underground.

this life be uplifted.''\\
\textbf{Ripple:} Quiet joy in co-creating beauty and nourishment beyond
yourself.

A gardener found a river-worn pebble while digging beds.\\
She placed it beside a sapling and whispered, ``You, like me, have
travelled far. Let's grow together.''\\
Years later, shoppers swore the tree gave sweeter fruit.\\
The pebble rested at its roots, silent but seen.

\textbf{Moral:} What we regard with love, regards us back in
kind---often through soil and stem.
