What I Need to Know About Being an Acorn

Susan and Tara have both sent me acorn quotes this week. I love how acorn knowledge has fallen into my lap. My talisman. My totem. Do you have one? I remember before my old roommate got engaged that she was looking for signs that the marriage would be blessed by God. She asked God to show her mushrooms in the middle of winter. And He did several times out of the blue. Most girls would pick a rose or a bird as a sign. But I think your totem has to come upon you instead of letting you find it.

The classic, again Great oaks from little acorns grow. -old English proverb

Think of the fierce energy concentrated in an acorn! You bury it in the ground, and it explodes into an oak tree! Bury a sheep and nothing happens but decay. -George Bernard Shaw

To be an acorn is to have a taste for being an oak tree.- Thomas Merton

The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams take are the seedlings of realities. -James Allen
