Banyan tree or oak tree?

There is a seed of the time that we will not be here, that lies dormant
within us. It may be in the form of a definite plans or intentions; or
hidden deep within the psyche. Emotions, thoughts, energy of different
layers overlies this seed.
What will this seed sprout into?
Will it be as an oak tree, standing tall and straight, providing shade,
sustenance and support to its surroundings, providing acorns that grow
into separate trees; till one day it falls and sustains the earth and
trees around it, while merging into memory of things past?
Or a banyan tree, that spreads around a vast area, creating its own
ecosystem: sending down aerial roots from its branches, that root in
Mother Earth and grow into strong trees, connected to the main trunk;
but that can survive even when the main trunk is gone?
Which image appeals to you? As we seek to grow into universal light, are we
sending out oak energy or banyan energy? [And are we seeking something
better or worse? Nothing is better or worse!]
