Growing Forward

Words of nature may pertain to certain stamina, with that said I believe that most can say that we are off springs of this world that we live in. Throughout our lifetime we are meant to grow and nurture from our own environment. Whether we are living in the nourishment of fine stability of fresh water and warm sunshine, or we are trapped by the shadows of society ignorance where we struggle to reach out the smallest crack of light and a drop of wholesome water. Here we battle to expand our roots. However through gloom or shine we still find a way to grow. I mean common just looking back at the rose that grew from the concrete. It did in fact manage to prove nature’s laws wrong, overcoming obstacles in its barrier by moving forward and continuing to strive on. I feel like we all are that rose more specifically that rose grows in our heart, which at times is a fractured piece of concrete undermining its own strength and capability. With delicacy and proper timing the same way that the rose grew, the same way its spirit grows in our heart. Admiring not only its beauty, but also its effort to bloom from an environment so rough and rugged. We come from different places; we all have been through different stages; however each of us has the same potential to get up and transcend through our own impediments. Like the grass, the flowers, and the trees, we are all one living organism; we are all connected. We are here for one another for support and growing nature. Without one we are incomplete and bound to fail for existence. Repeat this chant to the ones who believe that they are forever alone. “I am here, we are here.”  As individuals we are small but together we stand tall.
