and like the old willow tree that’s been grounded and deeply rooted for decades , steady in the midst of storms , and resilient in the midst of raging hurricanes , i too want to be unwavering and unaffected . but in truth , it was the wind . it was the wind that was the old willow’s teacher . it taught the willow that taught me emotions come and go , some in storms , some in hurricanes , they are inevitable yet controllable .
