In a talk I heard this summer at the Chautauqua Institution it was mentioned that we can mathematically calculate the number of seeds in an apple, but there is no limit to the number of apples that can come from a single seed. As seeds are scattered some fall on rock and die, some wither and die for lack of water, some sit and wait for the right conditions, and some immediately take root, grow, and produce fruit containing more seeds. As teachers we design experiences that plant seeds of thought in our students. They will not all take root immediately. We will often not see the results of our work. But we trust in our task. May your year be fruitful.
