Quivering Aspen

The Aspen tree, bright and golden leaves are known for quivering.They are so nimble that they move with the slightest whiff of air or simply tremble by the movements in the air however small they may be.It is classical and characteristic.

It could be compared with the lives of many people who live in fear and shake and worry at every small incident that happens to them.When the D day comes they quiver and fall to the ground equally fast to pile up amongst the other thousand who lie on the ground.Life is a breeze, it can be soft whiff or fresh air, it could be a warm or cold gush of air or an unwanted bad stench filled experience.Its how we stand up to it that matters.If we want to hang on and tremble , be an aspen leaf.If you wish to stand up and face the gusty winds then be different and upright as a pine or rosewood tree.As the tree experiences the cold, the heat (the pain & the anguish) and the cool temperatures where one experiences peace, so does mankind.It stands up to all kinds of weathers and those who give up fall to the ground in a heap.

Why not stand up and face the challenges in life boldly and go down fighting if it comes to that , rather than whimper and tremble at every point.
