As I started to picture the trees in the storm,
the answer began to dawn on me. The trees in the
storm don’t try to stand up Straight and tall and
erect. They allow themselves to bend and be blown
with the wind. They understand the power of
letting go. Those trees and those branches that
try too hard to stand up Strong and straight are
the ones that break. Now is not the time for you
to be strong, or you, too, will break.
