Locked in a Seed

Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site, Johnson City

“Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom; but the ultimate wisdom,
which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies,
the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one
which calls forth faith rather than reason.”

Hal Borland, 1900-1978
Sundial of the Seasons (1964)
American author and journalist
