Mustard seeds don’t seem particularly significant to the eye. Small, round, and neutrally colored, they can be overlooked. But it is exactly that neutrality that gives them a role in the teachings of several major religions. A story from the Buddha asks a grieving mother to collect a handful of mustard seeds from a family that has never lost a loved one, from which she learns about the universality of grief. Jewish texts compare the knowable universe to the size of a mustard seed. The Quran uses the weight of a mustard seed to show how finely the scales of justice will be balanced. And the Christian New Testament uses the mustard seed in a parable about how faith can grow from almost nothing.
Here, find that insignificant mustard seed, suspended in a resin heart. Whatever it means to you, you can keep it close to your heart.
