Mother Nature is nothing if not persistent. She has her limits, mind you, but a plant’s purpose is to go forth and produce the leaves from which it feeds and seeds it sows to ensure its future.

It means standing up for what is right.

“You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.” ~ Jim Rohn
We can find a way.
