Life is like a plant.

Life is like a plant.

You can water it,

take care of it,

give it new soil and lots of sun,

but it will continue to grow at its own pace.

Not faster,

not slower,

and it doesn’t help to push it.

Solo cuídala (just take care of her).

Give it time.

Give it space.

Give energy, love and nutrition.

Give it the right conditions.

Before you know it,

Four baby plants are sprouting out of the earth

while the mother continues to stand proud, plush and strong

growing in the direction of the sun.
