The threefoldness is laid down tenderly and in mutual belonging in the germ of the seed. Moving outward from the middle — the germinal bud — root differentiates and separates itself downward, shoot upward. Everywhere in the creative work of nature one will find a middle between two poles, yet a middle that is determined in its mercurial functions. In the threefoldness of root, blossom, and the middle-forming leaf, the plant is a consummate work. The same holds for what in the human being is nature — the body and its organs. The skin organ, for instance, which articulates itself into the innervated, sense-active outer skin (*Epidermis*), the blood-permeated inner skin (*Corium*), and the metabolically active subcutaneous tissue (*Subcutis*). The same holds for the agricultural organism: the sense function of the rocks in the depths, the digestive activity of wind and weather in the heights, and, as the middle member, the soil.
