The Tiny Seed

The garden was lovely, perhaps the most beautiful it had ever been. Years of toil were paying dividends and things were growing in previously barren areas. The result of all this work was a sense of happiness, of achievement, of well being. 

However one shadow still lurked. Despite the years of digging, sieving, weeding out all that could cause a problem to this paradise one seed still hid. The one tiny seed that could undermine all that had been achieved. One tiny seed with the power to negate all the good. It was there and would sprout into life one day growing tall quickly. Its shadow would rob the bright colours of their vibrancy, shade the joy. One tiny seed - the seed of doubt.
