A tree says: my strength is trust. i know nothing about my fathers, i know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me. i live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and i care for nothing else. i trust that god is in me. i trust that my labor is holy. out of this trust i live.

More From Hermann Hesse

The seed of god is in us. if the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to god whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of god. now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of god into god.
Christian Wise Growing Up
How about this miracle... god says if you plant the seed i will make the tree. wow, you can't have a better arrangement than that. first, it gives god the tough end of the deal. what if you had to make a tree? that would keep you up late at night trying to figure out how to make a tree. god says, "no, leave the miracle part to me. i've got the seed, the soil, the sunshine, the rain and the seasons. i'm god and all this miracles stuff is easy for me. i have reserved something very special for you and that is to plant the seed.

Leaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. the leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. in this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. we are all children of society, but we are also mothers. we have to nourish society. if we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.

The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ and holy means ‘exalted and worthy of complete devotion.’ by that definition, all days are holy. life is holy. atheists have joy every day of the year, every holy day. we have the wonder and glory of life. we have joy in the world before the lord is come. we’re not going for the promise of life after death; we’re celebrating life before death…for atheists, everything in the world is enough and every day is holy. every day is an atheist holiday. it’s a day that we’re alive.
Atheist Holiday Mean
Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.

This is a devastating problem, is, the longer our children are in school, the worse they do. year after year after year, our children in america are falling further behind. our 3- and 4-year-olds enter kindergarten ok, and they fall further and further behind. each year, children in other countries are learning more than children in this country. and so the gap between american student performance in singapore and finland and south korea and canada and these other countries, the gap widens year after year after year.

A wise traveler never despises his own country.
Wise Country Travel
Complaints about the social irresponsibility of the intellectual typically concern the intellectual's tendency to marginalize herself, to move out from one community by interior identification of herself with some other community - for example, another country or historical period... it is not clear that those who thus marginalize themselves can be criticized for social irresponsibility. one cannot be irresponsible toward a community of which one does not think of oneself as a member. otherwise runaway slaves and tunnelers under the berlin wall would be irresponsible.
