“there will always be pain.
you will hold animosity in your heart
and it will hurt you.

do not be foolish enough
to let these times pass;

trees do not hide during storms.

they face torrential down pours,
they dig their root deeper into the soil --

you must do the same.”
― Jean-Marie Bub, Roots of the Resilient: an anthology of poetry and artwork
