Budding Pearly Kernel Vision

י"ד בניסן תשס"ז

א I had an odd mind-vision today. A very long thin thread-like stalk grew out of the dark "ground" (essence) like a "budding" flower (tzitz ציץ). Only the bud was not flower petals. The bud actually looked like a luminescent kernel of pearly white and silver. The small base part of the kernel-like bud was silver and turned into luminescent pearly white as it extended into the wider distal part of the kernel. It swayed gently as if in a breeze. Emotionally, the vision was charged with the feeling that this little bud had overcome great obstacles to its survival and it was swaying with "relieved victory" that it had survived and was alive! It was almost as if the little bud was silently proclaiming "I am!" ת
