Dealing With Adversity

The rain had fallen for several days. When I ventured outside during one break in the weather, I found this little flower bending toward the ground.

 

The weight of the water collected on the petals was more than the flower could bear. Upon reflection, I found myself thinking how alike people and plants are.

 

Life can overwhelm us with outside forces. Being able to bend with the weight of adversity and still rise afterwards is a measure of often unseen strength.
