Relationships are one of the most important things in life. To relate means to love. To relate means to share.

But before you can share, you must have. And before you can love, you must be filled with love, overflowing with love.

Two flowers can relate. They are open. They can send their fragrance to each other. They can dance in the same sunlight and in the same wind. They can have a dialogue, they can whisper.

However, this is not possible with two seeds. The seeds are completely closed, with no windows. How can they relate?

A person is born like a seed. They may become a flower, or they may not. It all depends on you, on what you do with yourself. The choice is yours. And every moment you must face your choice. Every moment you are at a crossroads.
