Survive by Bending with the Gust.

I made mistakes,
but I did not quit.
Where the road bends, I follow.
Where it disappears, I step anyway,
not because it’s easy,
but because I refuse to turn back...

Like a bamboo tree, I bend with the gust. I shift my plans, not my purpose. I push my roots deeper, accepting the twists in the journey over the comfort of the moment...

This path was never promised straight lines.
So I chose the long game,
to walk through doubt,
to get ready for the unknown...

Don’t fight the gale�"adjust your sails.
Find your stillness in the center, and keep moving forward...

strength is not stiffness�"
it is roots growing deeper
when the storm arrives...

So I quiet the chaos,
find stillness at my center,
and take the next step...
And just the next one...
