This post was originally published on From Behind the Pen (September 19, 2021), by Kym Gordon Moore. Reference of the Seed Crew is from my 2009 book, “Diversities of Gifts: Same Spirit.”

As I was driving home one day, I saw a sign posted in the median of the highway that read “Seed Crew.” This group is responsible for basic seeding operations, backpack utilization, ornamental and tree seedling installation. The Roadside Environmental Unit is tasked with tilling, seeding, mulching, ditch lining, beautification projects, and the landscaping in rest areas. They transport water and fertilizer to feed newly planted seeds, helping them to germinate and grow into luscious plants, trees, and flowers.

While reading about gibberellins, a group of growth-regulating substances containing a complex chemical structure found in plants known for the acid that promotes stem growth, it disturbed me about what this process produces. Essentially, it speeds up the flowering and fruit-producing process to stimulate seedless fruits due to the absence of pollination. For example, the discovery of a navel orange was harvested through a process known as grafting (a method of taking a branch from a mutant tree that was cut and stuck into the slit of a regular orange tree trunk). This type of manipulation produced a tree of seedless fruit. Hmmmm…

Oh what becomes of the seedless fruit

how did it come to be

manipulated through seedless mutation

it can’t produce a harvest to see.

I till my spiritual soil

preparing to receive the seeds of might

weeding out those things that stagnate

my new growth can’t stop in a dead-end plight.

I gird my seeds with nutrients

fertile soil is where it will grow

for whatever seeds I plant, good or not

I shall reap more than I sow.

I think about the choices people make, whether destructive, constructive, or restrictive. The seeds planted from their chosen choices will determine the outcome of what will grow from them. If the integrity of the seed is compromised, so shall it be with the fruits of its harvest.
