The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak
that resists. ~Japanese proverb
We find our groove in the throes of movement
In the beat and the pulse and the dance
Life is messy in the making
Progress always has a price
Dirty hands and broken bones
All the things that make us fall and get back up
A beautiful vessel built by grace and strength
moving us forward
For curves are always around the corner
ones that throw us off the path
so we need our strength to
find our way back
for life is a journey full of maneuvering
and too much stillness makes for stiff knees anyway.
