Have you ever heard of the bamboo metaphor?
Bamboo doesn’t seem to be doing much for the first two years, but by the third year, large stems begin to breakthrough the surface.
Have you ever heard of the bamboo metaphor? Bamboo doesn’t seem to be doing much for the first two years, but by the third year, large stems begin to breakthrough the surface.
When the stems finally surface, every node and every leaf are already in place.
It was growing all this time. The whole time, unseen, under the earth.
It’s actually the fastest growing woody plant on this planet, with some species growing up to 1 meter per day.
Up, up, up! You can practically watch it grow.
Bamboo is naturally strong and graceful. It symbolizes vitality, flexibility, and tenacity.
Bamboo is used for shelter, to fashion tools, and can hold hillsides in place against raging waters.
Each stem grows independently, but supports the stems around it.
Bamboo propagates quickly, bringing beauty to our world in the form of landscapes, sounds, and feelings.
It gives joy and peace to everyone everywhere who sees it, hears it, and feels it.
It can be all things. All things. ALL THINGS!
It is the paper, it’s the brush, and it’s the inspiration of paintings.
Bamboo is on the planet waiting to serve, receive, connect and shine.
…As it is, each of you ❤
You have been that gift to me.
You are both the GIFT and the GIVER.
You are strong and resilient.
Your message matters.
Your silent growth matters.
Through your message you are spreading joy, laugher and connection.
Be encouraged! When you use your voice, you are encouraging others to lift their voice. You have helped others to reveal their own strength, beauty, and UNLIMITED possibilities.
By bravely showing up, you have unlocked your strength, beauty and unlimited possible.
