Picture a tree. The top of the tree sways as it blows back and forth in the wind.
If you look at the top of the tree you might think it unstable.
When you look at the trunk of the tree you see it is very stable.
We are like that.
When the emotions are running through us
we can remember that is not all we are.
We are also the trunk.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
