Dear Friends and Students
Please look at the Picture! This palm tree fell down, refused to die, made its way right up!! Before appreciating its FIGHT BACK nature, lets understand its constitution.
Palm
tree takes 4-6 years to grow from seed to its highest. They grow 4-6 feet per
year. Some palm trees live 70-100+ years or beyond! In fact, you can uproot
them, may be 15-18 inches of rootball and can be transported them. Some of them
can survive hurricanes as well.
In
fact in some cultures, The Palm Is a Symbol of Life (e.g. Syrian). Few Palms
can be dangerous as well (e.g. The fruits of many palms, such as coconuts and
dates, are delicious. Others, such as sago, are poisonous to humans and
animals).
I
would like to share an interesting perspective here. I am not 100% sure but I
read it somewhere. After the hurricane in Puerto Rico, coconut bearing palms
had mostly fallen while the non-coconut ones hadn’t. You know the reason?
Coconut bearing one wasn’t native to the Caribbean. It is Indian in origin! A
tree of certain region cannot survive extremes in another region. This is one
good lesson humans to learn from Nature!
Look
at this picture! Nature is stronger than we think. It is a great example to thrive!
Covid-19 shattered many lives!
Wave
1 created Fear!
Wave
2 created Unrest!
Wave
3 adds up Hunger too, if we don’t handle it diligently. Now it is going to hard
hit on Employment! Business houses got closed for long time. Regular income
streams got stopped. However, this palm tree is living example to survive! A
big thank you to the house owner and photographer! Every Covid-19 Victim
(Health/Financial/Psychological Victim) should look at this picture and revive!
*Resilience
at its Finest! The Power to Live*
*Don’t
Quit*
