if the conditions . do not favor growth, the tree . waits until they do
the details will change as our position changes increasing knowledge
there may come a point . when something that was needed . can be left behind
with each decision . a new teacher appears . if we are open
in change, there is growth . but some things are near ideal . just the way they are
with hope and sadness . the half-alive plant struggles . in a toxic space
every tree branch . has on it the potential . for another branch
somewhere in between . the question and the answer . is where growth happens
growth is expected and death is a surprise, though both are part of life
we need to emerge . from our comfort zones sometimes . in order to grow
