Growth After Destruction
December 18, 2007
[New growth in Malibu in an area burned by October's fires. Taken December 16, 2007.]
Sometimes we must be willing to let go of that one thing we think defines us, that one part of our selves that we believe makes us who we are. The idea of taking a torch to definitions we have assigned to ourselves can be frightening, but after the destruction, after the raging fires that may ensue, new growth will always – always – spring forth, in places we might have believed were incapable of sustaining life.
wow! awesome shot and such a great thing to remember…the cycle of life…good one Swirly…
yes life does spring forth after a tragedy…we could take a big lesson from that little image…blessings, rebecca
I’m believing in it! You inspire me.
I have lots of stuff to do today but I was taken a little blogging break when I came across this post of yours. My heart kind of stopped when I read it and saw the date of the picture.
On the morning of December 16th our house was robbed while we slept and my sense of safety was stolen.
I keep staring at this picture ~ the new life bursting through~ and then I turn my head slightly to stare at the sliding glass door the robbers came through.
Growth.
I will focus on the growth that must come from this.
Thank you for a visual reminder.
XO,
