When the storms come trees get uprooted, boats may be wrecked, and even heavy rocks can get tossed aside. But the most delicate blade of grass bends to the rain, sways to the wind, and remains rooted in the earth. When the storms seem too great, feel the sweetness and smallness of being a simple blade of grass. Feel your connection with the grass around you—you are part of a greater whole even in your individual-ness. You are part of a greater cycle of life, and this is just one storm in between what is mostly calm and sunshine. Know it will pass. Flexibility and connection with others is your greatest strength during rough weather. Let yourself feel as though you’re as straight and smooth as a green blade of grass, piercing through difficulty with gentleness and bounce.
