Tree – My Coffee Thought

Life can be very similar to this bonsai. Tangled, confused, with twists and turns; but in the end everything was necessary for the pretty foliage that adorns it.

Grow a bonsai is a complete art that has been practiced in Asia for many centuries. They come from the same full size seed, but in small containers and carefully trimmed and trained to have a unique beautiful and elegant bonsai. Just like life; parents bring into the world a baby. The happiness of holding that baby brings the vision of the future adult we want him to become. Parents then start feeding the baby with the best food they have in store. Parents want the baby to grow a strong man, so they expose him to the sun, to the water and the mud.. They play with him, they also teach and correct him in love in hope that he becomes their dreamed adult. In other words, they trim and train him. In the end, after all the twists and entangles comes the joy of a child we are proud of.

We can also compared it with our mistakes, sins, sorrows and failures; but if we persevere, the end could be a beautiful bonsai.

What makes a great individual? A good one? A weak one? Strong Roots do.
I’m talking about character, success, compassion, acceptance, tolerance, faith, values and love.

A solid foundation in the family is passed from generation to generation. It’s reflected in the adult, the professional, the future parents and in the governments.

Just like a family is attached to Christ the root, children are attached to the parents, the trunk. It’s amazing to see that normally the strong trunk is one big unit just like parents in agreement. Then, they split. Each one doing their activities; perhaps, working. The branches are the children; some are strong and some are weaker but they all depend on their parents. Each branch is unique, they take different directions and shapes… and so, the children and the children’s children… just like a strong beautiful tree. Just like a strong harmonious family.
