A Tiny Soul in a Big World

    He woke to this world with eyes full of wonder. He looked around in amazement, soaking in the morning sun as it broke through the thinning clouds. The last drops of the passing rain filled him with excitement. The chirping of the birds made him want to explore. The skies, so endless and mesmerizing, captivated his mind seeding imagination with myriads of possibilities. He pushed forward ready to make his first step into this open, brilliant, and so new to him world.

    Something held him. Something made him stay where he was. Something uncontrollable, inevitable. He looked down in bewilderment.

    Startled.

    Surprised.

    And there it was. His link to his roots. His anchor. His grounding fate. And so he stood. Wavering in the light wind. Watching. And wishing.

    Wishing to be up there one day.

    Limitless.

    Free. Like a bird.

    A tiny mushroom in a huge wondrous world.

If plants have urges you described them well. Good little story.

Considering we don't feel too lacking about not being able to jump through dimensions or shape the space-time continuum into donuts - I hope the little dude came to appreciate the powers nature did give him :)) Thank You!
