SYMBOL DICTIONARY · AN ACORN

An Acorn in your coffee grounds

A great thing in a small shell — potential, and patience that pays enormously.

The acorn is the oak keeping its secret. It marks a beginning so modest you might overlook it — a first draft, a first date, a first coin saved — that carries a disproportionate future inside it.

The cup shows an acorn to tell you two things: plant it, and do not dig it up to check. What you are starting now is meant to be measured in years, and it will reward the patience handsomely.

Is there an acorn in your cup?
