Parable of the sower
What's interesting about Octavia Butler's story parable of the sower is the power of telling a story. This is seemingly the same message that was portrayed in ceremony but for me relies more on individual willpower and self determination. Society tends to look at the bad things or when presented with a situation of non inclusion would retaliate to hate or getting away from this situation. Butler found herself in situations where she wasn’t included. She had no story or character to relate with. Instead of complaining about this I find it both inspiring and refreshing to see she took it upon herself to create a new story and write herself into the plot. To me this is something that can be taken into the future when wanting to change or inspire change. Chapter 7 starts with a quote from lauren, “We are all Godseed, but no more or less so than any other aspect of the universe, Godseed is all there is- all that changes. Earthseed is all that spreads Earthlife to new earths. The universe is Godseed. Only we are Earthseed. And the Destiny of the Earthseed is to take root among the stars.” This is a decentralization of power and its given to all of us. I wonder if this is rooted in Laurens hyperempathy and is it caring to much or is it the caring that's needed to promote change?
