Falling (August 25, 2007)


I will have to describe a certain plant in my house. I have these kind for many years now. They serve many purposes such as borders for the house, for shade, for beautifying ugly spots, and for the fragrant flowers they give. The flowers are pristine white, growing in clusters and gives off a lovely smell. When all of them are in bloom, the flowers look like snowflakes resting on the branches of these small trees.

It is not difficult to take care of them. All they need is plenty of sunshine, water and a healthy place to grow. They bloom even if they are planted in small containers.

What strikes me are the flowers when they are growing. A cluster would have individual flowers so small that once you separate them one by one, it wouldn't give a spectacular impression. And just like any other flowers, they also wither and die.

These flowers are like our life. We grow by achieving a lot of things, accomplishing tasks and showing to the world that we are a contributor to the society. We accumulate accolades and experiences that help us move and grow. We shine during high times.

But everyday is not a good day. So when we are experiencing the lows, we have to remember these flowers. They wither and die but the tree is still alive. We fall, we stand, we shine again.
