Plant Life

It amazes and astounds me to think of plant life plunging forth from organic nutrients growing towards the sun and from the earth. Is it possible that each different plant is unique because of different characteristics of the soil in which the plant is growing? I think palm trees have fire cracker soil that makes the plant explode with shocks of excitement. I think live oak trees have the power of the Mississippi that cemented the soil currently nourishing its tendrils and dangerous curves teasing the ground.  I think that flowers smell sweeter near cemeteries.  I like to think that plants have a way of processing out all the goodness, badness, positive and negative energies of the literal and figurative stuff that leach into the ground and air.  Plant life is the earth's literal erections of life seeking light and food sources.  And finally the notion of the mother earth giving birth to these plant beings.  The life source being the earth, the light source being the sun, the food source being water. Everything plays its part and everything is crucial in the overall success of plant life.  Simplistic, yet holistic, and, even more so, maybe somewhat prophetic.  Just in the sense that plants seem to have existed the longest in this world, they seem to know the trick of successfully continuing the species.  Perhaps, this alone merits exploration into potential lessons to learn.
