In Zen, bamboo is more than a plant – it’s a teacher.
It sways with strong winds, yet it does not resist.
It bends gracefully, and when the storm passes, it stands tall again.
Resilience isn’t about being hard or unmoved.
It’s about yielding without collapsing,
feeling deeply without losing your ground,
pausing without giving up.
Today’s Reflection:
When pressure rises or life feels uncertain,
don’t force strength; find softness.
Let yourself bend.
Allow the emotion, the uncertainty, the stillness.
Trust that, like bamboo, you too will rise again,
not in the same shape,
but with deeper roots and gentler grace.
