If You Love It Enough

“Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.”
— George Washington Carver

If you love it enough, any-
thing will tell you its secrets. Start
small, choosing perhaps a tiny
seedling. Find your way to its heart.

Can’t hear it? Listen closely — if
you love it enough, anything
will respond, pulsing back with its
own heartbeat, a soft whispering.

It’s a whispering that many
never hear, never guessing that,
if you love it enough, any-
thing can put you on the right path.

For within that whispering lisp
you can hear the universe sing,
and it will reveal to you, if
you love it enough, anything.
