Seed: A Story About Growing by Nancy Rosanoff
Nancy writes, “The story of Seed: a Story About Growing, was inspired by a life-long amazement of trees that grow on rocks with barely any soil.

When Scientists Have Mystical Experiences
What happens when a scientist has a spiritual experience? When the skeptic has his or her eyes opened? When the rational comes up against the seemingly irrational? Lately we’ve been reading serious accounts of just these events. Our favorite new website is www.issc-taste.org . Originally created by Charles Tart, the website has become a real resource and a treasure house of true stories of scientist’s mystical experiences. The stories are fascinating and many readers who have had similar experiences will recognise the details of the events recounted.
