WHERE ARE YOUR ROOTS PLANTED?
Are they planted in the world of form
In having things and being a someone
Or are they planted in beingness
In that which doesn’t come and go
If they are planted in the former
You will be pulled mercilessly around
Uprooted and tormented by events
Whichever way the wind blows
You will be blown there
If they are planted in the latter
When the wind blows
And events rise up as they will
You will not meet them with rigidity
But with the flexibility of a bamboo
Or the measure of a great oak.
