does a tree sapling have to prove to someone that it can be made into a big ark?
how about the hardest ugliest uncut carbon, to be chosen and cut into a diamond?
or is it an unhatched egg that tries hard to grow up to be the ruling rooster of a coop?
not a pebble that works hard to be the statue of David, is it?
can it be the draindrop that wants to be the flood?
maybe a newly formed leaf which wishes to be a large overhanging canopy tree?
possibly the pollen that pushes so that it can be a beautiful flower?
maybe even the grain that has to convince someone that it can be part of the Sahara.
