Until a few days, the leaves and buds looked covered in dew.
Now, the bare look as seen below, is a contrast. The leaves and bud seem to have returned to the summer look!
The transition is a change that we can anticipate for which we can even prepare ourselves. The day temperature has been high touching 37 degrees C and the Summer has set in. The nigh temperature is correspondingly high.
The seasons of weather follow a cycle but the cycle has got disturbed in the last two years with higher temperatures during the day and shortfall of rain.
The question that is discussed in different fora is the impending drought like conditions in some places and water scarcity.
Amidst these questions, when I gathered together the photos of the buds of rose bush from our garden, I realised that they weather the climate changes and adapt.
Their resilience is what comes across to me!
The inner resilience is therefore a matter that is decisive!
'When I am weak, then am I strong' is a profound statement! In one's vulnerability, one finds new strength. Ruth of told Testament decided to glean from the barley field to gather food for herself and her mother-n-law, Naomi. The strength of a widow in a place foreign to her!
Amidst the external pressures, the inner strength sustains a person!
