Shifting Seasons

 


                        Shifting Seasons

I was moved when I looked at the leafless tree. It seemed to be reaching up to embrace the sky. It will be like that through the winter months, allowing us to see its inner strength before it covers its bareness with beautiful greenery in Spring. 

It reminded me of our hopes that seem so barren in troublesome times, like the world is going through right now. We need to remember that we are strong underneath, that things change and that the world is flexible. If we can hold onto the understanding that life often shifts like the seasons, perhaps the beauty of humanity will come back into season.

  1. Ferida,
    Your words have touched me deeply. Yes, the trunks of the trees with their outstretched branches do reflect to us our inner strength to endure. Your reflection provides the opportunity to ponder these insights throughout the winter months.
    Thank you for sharing.
