It is easy to feel down, lost or weak. And it is okay to feel vulnerable. It is in this vulnerable state where change often stems. The vulnerability of certain plants and animals can also be seen as their strength. The young sapling bends easily in the wind but because of that, survives another season. It is when we can’t bend, or change, do we break altogether. When we are feeling weak and vulnerable, let us keep that in mind. Move with it. Just a little bend this way, a little flow that way. Just another breath and tear may be enough to ride the storm out so that you can then grow two inches toward the light. For there and then you will blossom. But it took that bend in the path, that obstacle, that time of vulnerability, to create the need for change. And for that we are thankful.
