To M. J. David
20 July 2006
Mr. David,
I have gone through your works and it planted a seed in my heart. I take care of it and it continues to grow. It produces more seed and now it is mine, as well as the tree, since the earth is mine where you planted. I decided to plant the seeds to other’s heart, like you did.
You are the planter of wisdom and I am your gardener.
I cannot tell if my seeds are vigor, like the one you planted. Before I plant, I would like to learn if my seeds will grow into a healthy tree. My seeds look similar, both healthy and weak. I cannot select the ones to plant.
As I am learning to produce forceful seeds, I would like to know some sources you considered. I fear no one planted on my heart, except you. I doubt if ever planters came, their seeds are not energetic to implant themselves in my earth, or maybe the time they came is the time my earth is stony. I trust your sources since your seeds are high-quality. That’s why I made this seed come to you for you to tell its flaws.
If you think my tree is not well-cared of, I am asking you to tell me what to do so we can save the seeds from suffering inferiority, or worst, the tree from dying.
When it is time for me to plant, I owe my skills to you and I will try to repay you, even though I know it’s hard.
Sincerely yours,
K. M. Vacarizas
