Seed Fall – 31st May 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

She cracked the dry seed pod open,
tipped the tiny black seeds into my hand,
closing my fingers around them—
a secret we both knew would not grow here.

Did she close my fingers to keep them safe,
or to make sure that I would feel them slip away?

I let go of the seeds—
but I kept the shape of her fingers closed around mine.

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

We Have But One Obligation

In your life, there’s just one thing
That must be done to make it sing
Be a good person, make no excuses
Do your job so that no one loses
