Botany
At the age of 18, I didn't know where my talents lay. Even though I had explored for many years in my childhood, I lost it on the way to growing up.
On the road with confusion, I knew I need to find something that beat my heart. What came to mind was the silhouette of the huge banyan tree in front of my house in the early morning of winter when I was two or three years old and the quiet to deafness of that deserted street. I liked plants, but I didn't know it was because I was born with nature. I wanted to learn about the essence of life so I applied for a plant-related major-horticulture. Of course,in my heart, college courses or any kind of studies could not make me comprehend life. Theoretical issues are haggard, like branches in winter, with only clear shapes but lacking the most important vitality.
There wasn't much in the course but going out for practice was interesting. Because of my innate understanding of regularity, I could always see through the close relationship between plants. And more than that, it is the understanding of the label, the ability to accept pain, the plants’cyclical life, never dying.It was a rare spirituality in an exhausting experience. Tissue culture experiments are boring repetitions but among them plants regenerate themselves because of their healing power from injury which is what I have been looking for all along- life embracing blades without death only rebirth.
Here probably found some primitive stories about life from a seed breaking through soil bravely. Once I read the quote, "A seed will always be safe if it does not germinate, but it chooses to face all dangers and uncertainties in this world with tender shoots then bloom". In billions of years of evolution all lives flow unceasingly towards next moment never looking back since birth.
