My growth didn't start at my birth...

Nor at conception...

My growth began at the beginning of time...

For I am a but a thread of the microcosm...

A compilation of generations of individuals with different cultures and ideals..

My father's father's father's ideals may be now a cross section of my ideals...

My mother's mother's mother's integrity may now have become interwoven into my child's life...

At certain times I have stunted my growth...

At others I have enhanced and accelerated growth...

Metal

Physical

Spiritual

Just a few of the facets of the precious stones from which I am cut...

With a soul running as deep and as wide as the roots of the mighty tree that sprouted me...

My growth may even continue beyond my time above ground...

I am organic...

My spirit is titanic...

For now...

My growth continues...
