Sometimes you can find growth in the hardest places. Nowhere is that more evident than along a streambank. Water is all around, yet rocks are barren and dry. Slowly moss and lichen take hold. Wind, rain, freeze, and thaw; processes that start to break down barriers. Through perseverance, slowly and steady, an environment is created and allows a seed to bare root. Not just any seed; its a plant that protects itself. Armed with thorns, the blackberry seedling speads out; capturing sunlight and then itself bares fruit. Slowly, the rock wears away, and if growth is strong enough it breaks away the barrier that once held it back.
People are like plants. We can be strong, but sometimes barriers stand in our way. If we persevere, we too can overcome what holds us back. Growth doesn't come when we want it. Success comes at it own pace. We just have to be patient; like the blackberry bush.
