Twisted and refreshing approach.

Twisted= daring to see things reversely.
Refreshing= diving deeper to find meaning.
In addition, brilliant soothing metaphor. Def more neutral.

I have a lot to say, criticize and reflect, but instead, I'd love to hear more.
How can you protect yourself while having such uplifting awareness:
"Can the tree grow straight up while being hit by the violent gusts of wind"?

Alternatively,

Having stopped growing because of the wind's force, the tree can just accept this situation with gratitude?
After all, what's the purpose of the this tree?
To the world, to itself...

Thank you for the attention,
This is an invitation to expand a discussion. Yet, if you don't feel its purpose, feel free to skip.

Writing this in the midst of a NPD turmoil, while anchored at sea.

Great weekend dear J.
