The natural world is all about survival of the fittest. Sadly this seedling is destined for mortality as it germinates and attempts to grow in the gap of a wooden table outside the BBC Club. I sat having lunch looking at this delicate seeding. What is missing from this equation for this minor miracle of plant growth is a stable substrate to thrive in. But really what this image said to me was, no matter how we humans like to think we are in charge, once we just stop controlling for just a second, nature will return. Ultimately this seedling is doomed, much like the long term survival of the human race who, once they have plundered all their resources, will shrivel away leaving, just the plants, the birds and the bees.
