To what shall we compare the kingdom of God?
It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground,
is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth.

God is
the
self’s
structure
nothing
can
be taken
away
emptiness
is
fullness
the proof
is
the deed
color
form
fragrance
hidden
in
seed
blessing
the
desert
flowering
peace
