The story of the Bamboo and Oak

‘There was once a bamboo seed and an oak seed.

The little oak seedling grew fast from the acorn into a tree, it grew taller with each passing year, Its trunk became thicker and stronger each year and its branches grew wide and strong providing shade with its wide branches and leaves for all beneath in the forest. the Oak tree said to the bamboo seed ‘you’ll never grow, you’re wasting your time, look at me i’m growing strong’…. the bamboo seed remained quiet, dormant and showed no signs of growth, holding firm under the soil, it knew it was nurturing itself beneath the surface patiently, quietly and committed

Years passed, and then one day suddenly, the bamboo shoot shot out of the ground! Within six weeks or so, the Bamboo grew to up to 100 feet tall and towered over everything around it for miles, including the mighty oak!

We see now that Bamboo had spent many years growing very deep and sustaining roots under the cover of earth, these roots, strong enough to hold up its superfast towering growth, the bamboo had nurtured its hidden world and strengthened in trusting this process.

Now Both stood proud and tall in the forest, mighty bamboo and mighty Oak, both growing strong, but in very different ways’

Lao Tzu once said:

‘Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished’
