🌳 In the Arms of the Storm: A Lesson of Resilience
Greetings, Kodiak Crossing! Callie at Dawn here with you on KWAC. This morning, while sipping my coffee, I watched a storm pass through our little corner of the world. Among the wind-tossed leaves and rain-lashed streets, one sight stood out - an old tree, standing tall, bending, swaying but never breaking.
In Latin, there's a phrase: 'Per aspera ad astra,' meaning 'through hardships to the stars.' And if there's a living embodiment of this sentiment, it's that old tree, standing unyielding in the face of the storm.
Watching this, I couldn't help but ponder the resilience and strength we find in nature and in ourselves. Just like that tree, we face our storms. We may bend, but we don't break. We endure, we adapt, we grow. We're rooted yet flexible, grounded yet able to reach for the stars.
Remember, folks, each storm that passes leaves us a little stronger, a little more resilient. Just like that steadfast tree, let's hold our ground and face our storms, knowing that we are capable of withstanding them, growing from them.
As we segue into the Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', let's take the storm and the tree as reminders of our inherent resilience. Per aspera ad astra, Kodiak Crossing. Through hardships to the stars, for we are all related, all interconnected in this dance of resilience.
