This is the last of sprouted potatoes to plant in my garden, I held it up and could not help thinking of the Baobabs in my favorite children’s book called “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. In the book, the baobabs start off as tiny weeds, but if not uprooted and discarded when they are little, they firmly take root and can even cause a planet to split apart.
On a metaphorical level, the baobabs stand for unpleasant things in one’s nature – if we don’t spot them and weed them out early, they will take firm root and distort our personalities. Yes, the problems today are the Baobabs like this that have taken root within us and now our planet. I recently saw a fascinating award winning National Geographic The Lost Forest | Nobel Peace Prize Short, in the end it says by 2100 only 40% of our planet’s biodiversity will remain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDoanNM7O_s
