We are like trees.
Sometimes we are planted in groves, snuggled in with others of our kind. We use the collective strength to weather storms. We share wisdom and experience through our hidden underground root system. We breathe each other’s air and know we are not alone.
But sometimes we are alone, apart from those like us. We face the howling winds of change by ourselves and remain standing when the storm has passed. We face blistering heat with no one to shade our soul. We sniff the silent air knowing there is no one nearby to lean upon.
In both scenarios we gain strength. Strength of different kinds. Strength of different measures.
We are exactly where we need to be at exactly the time we need to be there. Life is lends its energy to us. We just need to be like trees. Absorb the energy and release our talents no matter where fate has placed our roots.
