The Strength Of Yielding
A mighty blue spruce reached over a hundred feet to pierce the azure canopy of sky. My eyes traveled from the top to the base of my tree companion, fillinf me with wonder as I realized that its body sprang from solid rock. "What strength," I marveled to myself. The stone that supported the spruce was mammoth, yet it was cleaved in two.
I felt something pull the edge of my awareness and I fell into the stillness, listening. The mighty spruce spoke to my heart saying, "Strength is found in those who yield. The willow bends to the wind and does not break. This Stone Person has yielded to my roots, making way for new life, allowing its minerals to feed my body. Through infinite seasons, the stone will erode, becoming soil. In time, my wooden body, long past its present use, will give succor to those who come after me. We are willing to yield to the process that gives life to the next generations. This is our strength. We serve during all the stages of our lives. That is the strength found in yielding-we let go of how it is supposed to happen. Tell me, human friend, can you do the same.
Well tell me what you think if you like this I will continue if not I will stop. It is a good way of making you think about your day. Thanks.
