A Lesson from the Tallest Tree

There's one thing I learn from palm trees.

Even though now they stand tall and proud and face up the sun,

there will eventually come a day when they have to look down to the ground

and see the place where they were once and they are always from.

Because no matter how far you go and how long you wander,

you will always find a way to gravitate back towards your root.

The Story of Everything

Take a look around.

See all the things surround you.

Everything has a story to tell.

A story that will tell you the truth.

A story that will make you understand.

A story,

that you never thought existed.

What you have to do,

is just pay a little bit more attention,

and try to listen.

Do this once,

do this every once in a while,

do this every morning,

do this all the time.

The more often you do it,

the more surprised you'll be of what you'll finally get to realize.

Just Another Thing She Wrote

“But in the real world, you couldnt really just split a family down the middle, mom on one side, dad the other, with the child equally divided between. It was like when you ripped a piece of paper into two: no matter how you tried, the seams never fit exactly right again. It was what you couldn't see, those tiniest of pieces, that were lost in the severing, and their absence kept everything from being complete.”
