I marvel the way these flowers in our garden withstand 37 degree celsius for most part of the day!
They have an overcoming strength.
I have occasions to listen to parents on phone about this experience of overcoming skills.
A couple who had their son suffer from a stroke in the new born period overcame their shock and grief. At seven years when he is left with minimal difficulties and is adjusting well at school, their message is 'we shall overcome'. They overcame that with mother discontinuing her job and staying at home in the earlier years of the child, till he was able to take care of himself!
It points to taking decisions when necessary to respond with all the strength that one has to negotiate a difficult situation.
The flowers above have a strength that sustains them in the heat and humidity!
The inner strength is a cultivated resilience through times of rest, reflection, and recollections. The interior prayer habit is the resource for many!
