ENOUGH ROOM FOR ALL

The tree teaches a masterful lesson. Hundreds of leaves grow from the same tree whether it is an elm, a maple, or an oak. In springtime, the leaf will bud, unfurl, and then come forth. Miraculously there is enough room for all to grow. One leaf does not crowd out another leaf. If one leaf receives moisture, they all receive moisture. Only at harvest time, does the leaf need to fall in order for a new bud to appear.

The tree teaches a masterful lesson. I do not have to lose in order for you to win. You do not have to lose in order for me to win. There is enough moisture and nutrients surging through the trunk of the tree for all of us to live and flourish, to grow and blossom together. There is enough room for us all. We can all bud, unfurl, and grow to be as mighty as we desire.
