During the late after noon strong wind yesterday, I found this feeble plant and a dragon fly stay put, surviving the wind which blew away leaves and wrenched a few branches.
I felt inspired by their 'staying ability'!
There are circumstances in life when one has to choose between staying and leaving!
I am currently at a cross road!
When the wind is strong, the wind can carry away whatever it finds in its course. But the rootedness or holding on often sustain us from being carried away.
Such a consciousness of facing adverse circumstances can come to u, when we feel 'called' to a situation or responsibility and yet holding on to it loosely and lightly!
The plant swayed in the wind and the dragon fly kept readjusting its position. It was stressful! Yet the wind did not overcome them. That was the lesson that came home to me!
In any situation of stress, willingness to go through it trustfully, hopefully and gracefully can be the way forward! This means one is grateful for the wind as it affirms inner strength.
