QUOTE CONTEXT: “I sit with grain in my hand, I close my eyes, take a deep breath and the story unfurls. A seed divination; they whisper their stories into the very core of my being…The seeds tell the story of our human experience; one of change, adaptation, joy, loss, celebration, transformation and sustenance.”
QUOTE QUESTION: Where in the world must you listen deeply?
IMAGE CONTEXT: Rowen White winnows seeds. “While my hands gently work with wind and simple screens to winnow away the seed from the chaff, I find myself in my inner reflections doing similar processing.”
