Doubt Is a Seed

Written By Gayle Barklie

Doubt is not the enemy.

It is the seed beneath the soil.

It pushes against the surface, pressing you to question, to stretch, to grow beyond what you thought was certain.

We treat doubt like a flaw, a crack in the foundation.

However, what if it is the root system? What if it is how truth takes form in you?

Certainty hardens.

Doubt softens.

Certainty defends.

Doubt invites.

The seed does not know the tree it will become. It only knows the dark pressure of its beginning.

And so it splits … And so it rises.

Doubt is not the voice of failure.

It is the sound of becoming.
