Food for Thought, Experiment 6: Experiencing 'Resting Place of Unlimited Potential' – an opportunity for contemplation
The work of this generation is done. One may look back to a succesfull time. Many seeds have been planted. Unlimited potential has been planted out for the future. What remains are symbolic rings like the growrings of a tree. All parts come together. One may pass over with satisfaction.
