The growling of
the wind broke the silence of the night. The children, in their warm
beds, did not hear the crackling of the branches or feel the
strength with which the air carried itself. Outside, nature was
taking its course, bringing forth a new season. The countryside
seemed to gain its own momentum and the overriding hues seemed to
change as the wind moved at its own pace. Suddenly, it reached the
outskirts of the forest. The whispering willows in their mightiness
remained unruffled at first then shook a little. As the wind gained
strength and courage, the speed seemed incredible. Yet, the willows
stood strong and sturdy while the trees trembled, weakened and
groaned under the pressure. Soon there was disarray and shambles
with the wind having won the battle - only the willows seemed to be
holding their ground.
Courage, strength and faith are
like the willows standing strong no matter how hard the wind blows.
These are three of the most positive traits in us humans, which
helps us to overcome the winds of negativity, hate, disbelief and
greed.
