Growing is Forever

The wonderful Aaron Francis shared a video called Growing is Forever

"It is not easy to grow so much, for so long."

"It was very quiet all the time, because the trees needed to focus on their lives"

This less than 3 minute video, I found myself shaken. These lines cut straight through my tough bark. I have grown so much, but just like the trees in the forest. I need rest, its ok to rest for a season to be in the quiet.

There is so much to take in and remember we are always growing, reaching for the gray and gold sky.

We are the forest here. You can lean on me when you need to rest. I can help push through the dense canopy to make sure younger trees and others can benefit from the sun.

Remember a season of rest will benefit you greatly. No after work projects, get lost in the woods on a walk. Watch a spider made a web on your windowsill. You are growing. Build your silent forest, Imagine how much growth could happen if you had 300 years of silent forest. Rest now.

Growing is Forever.
