Our senses lead us through potential in the same way the wind blows a leaf around through the air. We discover things to be aware of, and at the same time we miss out on other things. We are specific and particular in what we experience. While we may be in one place experiencing something, we lose the oppertunity to be elsewhere in that moment. We choose our paths of action and potential like a tree chooses the direction it's branches will grow.
We start the process from the roots of an experience. Many factors curve the development of potential, and change the course of *how* it develops. Like a tree stretching it's limbs towards the sun, our decisions procure the direction of our experience. To what ends our potential comes to is like the leaves of a tree. The fruit then would be what we can extract and share from the experience.
Accepting oneself in bad potential is like planting a seed in bad soil. A tree doesn't need much care to see natural growth, and so we can get by with just a decent minimum too. However it's all the more impressive to see a tree grow healthy and strong when it is malnourished and has indecent foundations. If the roots are deep enough then the growth of the tree may yet still be salvaged.
We can learn a lot from literally anything if we have the mind to :)
