Making Changes

Sometimes it is easy to feel like we are being wrapped in the things of the world. Much like these trees are wrapped in moss, But we can over come all of them and make Changes in our lives that free us from those things that are hindering to us. When we are all making changes it is easy to continue to move forward instead of staying stationary in one place. In one of my favorite Poems it tells us why we have to have all the hard things and how we can become because of them.

“The tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light,
But stood out in the open plain
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king
But lived and died a scrubby thing.
The man who never had to toil to live,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
But lived and died as he began.
“Good timber does not grow at ease,
The stronger wind, the stronger trees.
The further sky, the greater length,
The more the storm, the more the strength.
By sun and cold, in rain and snow,
in trees and men good timbers grow.
Where thickest lies the forest growth
We find the patriarchs of both.
And they hold council with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife.
This is the common law of life.”

Changes make us better they make us stronger 

How can we become the Change we want to see?
