The Lesson of the Bendy Tree
"Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked,
while the tree that bends with the wind survives.
As our roots grow strong,
together we shall support each other through even the strongest of storms."
My husband had mentioned yesterday the lesson of the bendy trees. It's a proverb that has kept us going many times. When facing times of change and challenge, we have often reminded each other that we are the bendy trees; the more we learn to be flexible while supporting each other, the more successful and happy we will be.
So now, as we are in the midst of moving to a new apartment as I start my new job, my husband has reminded me how important it is for us to be bendy trees. If we continue to support each other and stay strong together, we can get through anything.
That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for Pickle.
