I may not look like much
but I’m sacred life, hard won
*
*
hope emerging despite vulnerability
during difficult times of heat and drought
*
*
in a world grown weary with uncertainty and fear
I unlock potential to overcome adversity,
offering sustenance and beauty
*
A beautiful example of Mother Nature’s resilience and of our ability to adapt and move through adversities. 🍀🪴🍀🍃

Well said, I would only add that “uncertainty” isn’t the worst thing in the world. I’d venture to suggest that people who are cocksure of themselves have caused more than their share of the world’s injustice and backwardness. As a wise man once said, “doubt is what gets you an education.”

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing such important insights, Mister Muse. You are right on – it is the truly ignorant who believe they know everything who cause the most harm in the world, isn’t it?
