Acorn
Acorns, Acorn cap, Oak seed
An acorn fits in the palm of your hand, yet everything needed for a giant oak is already inside it. "Great oaks from little acorns grow," as the old proverb puts it: small beginnings can have a long future. Finding one can be about an idea, a friendship or a habit that's only just getting started. A pocketful of acorns says you're collecting possibilities, and not all of them need to grow at once. A cracked or empty acorn may mean a plan needs better ground before it can take root.

- Crushing acorns underfootYou may be too hurried to notice the little things around you. Watch your step; some of them could grow into something big.
- Acorns dropping on the roofLittle messages and requests keep landing, one after another. Not every one of them needs an answer today.
