In our group, we use the phrase "mustard seeds" to describe the hope that we have for something greater in the future. We thought mustard seeds when we were taking a night walk on the beach looking for sea turtles and sure enough there was a female Leatherback. We were able to see this six foot long turtle give birth to 80 eggs- how? Mustard Seeds. When we were sleeping in the town of Arenal, Jimmy (our guide) told us to blow the clouds away and "think mustard seeds" in order to see the top of the volcano. Sure enough the next morning, just that happened. The belief in mustard seeds is something much bigger than a superstition, it is a way of believing in a better future. Today, as I get ready for the EF Summit, I have just that in mind.
