on surviving and thriving

"We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated."
-Maya Angelou
Like the trees in winter, you can bend under the relentless fall of snow without breaking. Through your ability to accept and flow with honesty, you can sustain a grounded yet flexible stance of integrity and grace. When the storm clouds sail away, leaving an unimpeded sun in their wake, the ice that seemed immovable will drip into the earth, and its trickles will even nourish your roots as you blossom once more.
