In downtown Manhattan, if they wouldn’t interfere, then in a short time you’d be amazed, because the streets would become jungles.
All you need is a crack in the sidewalk; a crack between the sidewalk and the paving of the street; and a seed blows in and lodges there.
And the seed has the power of breaking macadam.
It breaks concrete and in the course of time, it becomes a forest.
It’s amazing what HaKadosh Baruch Hu’s creatures can do. And grass and trees would be growing on Broadway and Times Square.
And it wouldn’t be such a bad thing at that. I think it would be an improvement.
But that’s how Hakadosh Baruch works.
And today, a green jungle covers all of Central America, where once the great empire of the Incas had roads and flourishing cities.
Simply by its innate God-given nature to grow, to thrive and flourish, a seed has the potential to overwhelm and conquer things much stronger and gargantuan.
Just like the Jewish neshamah.
