If What I learned today about plants that are not yet a tree and also not a seedling or a sprout.
Noticing their vulnerability as like our teeth.
We wear braces, so do they.
They put on their branches and reach for the skies.
Whether, they
Stand upright and grow in size to allow their branches to spead and shade.
Depends a lot also with how they are cared for.
If you would care to see, they seem to need a little help to not move and sway in all directions.
Before their trunk grows in strength to withstand the rain and wind.
They have to be tied to a pole, a similar way how their parents grew too.
They hv to be guided, held.
Not rushing their puberty stages.
So, likewise when we embark on our growth journeys. We need to remember that even the tallest and oldest tree had to be led and supported.
For me it is humility, patience and gentleness that I learned from them.
