LIghtscape 2025 – Seeds of Hope
Seeds of Hope by Jeanine Leane at Lightscape in Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens.
“We each have seeds of hope
And seeds of fear inside us
We choose the ones
We will nurture
And grow”
“Seasons of despair
Provide fertile ground
To plant seeds of resistance
And grow
Future solutions”
“It is the nature
Of seeds to know
When to be still
And when to break open
And rise into action”
“Nothing grows without a seed
Nothing changes without growth
Seeds are
Custodians
Of change”
