So you go
for a walk in the forest and enjoy the scenery, the fresh air, the birds
singing. A tiny beautiful wild flower on the side of the road catches your
attention. You pick it, smell it, admire
it for a second and continue along the path holding it in your hand. It’s not
long before you notice that the tiny flower has withered and it’s of no “use”
to you anymore so you throw it away….
So maybe,
just maybe, after doing the same thing for so many times, one day you see a
wild flower and plug it out of the ground with some soil and take it home
determined to plant it so that you can enjoy it longer. It is all yours now!
And you try your best to make it be in the new environment you have provided it
with. And you water it and love it. Isn’t that all it needs? Love and care,
right? But it withers and dies in captivity because it can no longer be its
true nature – wild.
And again,
maybe one day you see a wild flower and you admire it from a distance and all you
need is to just let it be.
