The "seedlings"...

By Vichara

A penetrating thought will leave in its wake, the seedlings of increased analytical process. Nurtured, these will grow and help develop the necessary tools and mechanisms to cope and resolve day-to-day issues that will arise. If left scattered they will become husks of what could have been, the missed opportunities of future revelations and enlightenment. The choice, as an advanced homo sapiens, is up to you. Rise up and gather these seedlings to increase your grasp in this frenetic world or continue on a complacent path that will just meet your expectations.

Did you know?
"Appreciable," like the verb "appreciate," comes from the Late Latin verb "appretiare" ("to appraise" or "to put a price on"). It is one of several English adjectives that can be applied to something that can be detected, felt, or measured. Specifically, "appreciable" applies to what is highly noticeable or definitely measurable, whereas "perceptible," which is often paired with "barely" or "scarcely," applies to what can be discerned to a minimal extent. "Sensible" refers to something that is clearly perceived; a sensible difference in someone's expression is easily detected. "Palpable" applies to something that, if it doesn't have actual physical substance, is nevertheless quite noticeable via the senses ("a palpable chill in the air"). "Tangible" is used for something capable of being handled or grasped, either physically or mentally ("tangible evidence").
