It seems that I am the most grateful when I am perched on the edge of a disaster. I saw the tipping point yesterday.

I am on the other side now. Listening to wind howl. Watching snow that cannot hit the ground. Seeing dancing trees that only yesterday at three o’clock were white with heavy ice.

A rain came at four and washed the ice off. The crashing down of the ice layer went on for hours. The trees were free again.

Ice-free trees can bend, not break.

That is the lesson here. Nature is made to bend. Forces may make the trees sway and bend, but but breakage only occurs to unyielding things.

Do you bend and yield?

Or will you stand up straight…and break?
