You were weeding a marigold bed when your thumb brushed a seed pod and it burst into a small, perfect flame instead of scattering. The flame did not burn you; it settled on your palm like a cat. That evening, you learned that the seed had been waiting for someone who understood that destruction and growth are the same threshold.
