Bend but not Break

(Originally posted 27 March 2005)

Kuan Yin, believed to be the female form of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, is often portrayed holding a willow branch. The branch is a symbol of being able to bend but not break.

As life continues to challenge us, we continue to adapt. If we are to rigid, we break. But by adapting, and bending, we overcome these challenges without losing ourselves.
