In order for a new tree to grow, it's seeds must be planted in a blank space of rich soil, with no other weeds or plants growing there. The space must be cleared and the soil must be upturned and made ready and fertile for a plant to grow. Then you take these tiny seeds and you plant them there. .. Anything that needs to grow, needs it's space to do so. So I feel this is what true and meaningful relationships are all about. The way to succeed and grow in a healthy relationship is to plant seeds of virtues like kindness, faith, strength, hope, in a space that is cleared and ready and made fertile for a real relationship to grow. In my life, I've had a relationship where the soil may have been cleared, but the tree that was trying to grow was stifled by weeds and other little creatures also starting to grow there. The weeds were not cleared properly and therefore the tree was under constant attack. Well, this caused the tree to hollow out and become a weak shell-- appearing strong and beautiful on the outside, but those with a keen eye knew better, and the tree just fell down. Now, I'm here beginning to take the first steps of clearing out the wreckage and preparing the soil again. I'm not moving away to a new space-- that's something I've learned does no real good. Running away is not the answer to all of life's mistakes. I've learned that my space, my soil right here, right now, is the perfect place for planting; always has and always will be. I don't need to look for fresher soil, because I have everything it takes right here in my life, to grow a beautiful strong tree.
