This is very much how I see things with our servants, as well. In fact, each short-term servant with us is assigned a plant to represent his or her "flowering", and is required to tend, water, and I will shape, thin, train to trellis or support, and harvest any fruits borne, for the individuals's and the enclave's benefit... as a representation of his or her yielding. The get to watch the plant germinate, grow, flower, and bear fruit. For our longer-term servants, once they enter 2nd circle, a bonsai tree is aquired to represent that servant. They water it, but I prune it and shape it, and trim its roots and transplant it as necessary. The tree will be the representation of them through their time with us. I find that the actual representation through a living plant reinforces the desire within the servant to grow and to accept the work of the hands that will protect and guide that growth. ZWD quote:
