People are like trees. Our roots hold the stories of where we came from, unseen but essential.
Our trunks carry the strength built from trials and time.
Our branches stretch outward, reaching toward connection, growth, and possibility.
And our leaves—ever-changing—mirror the seasons of our lives.
Through calm skies and heavy storms, we are shaped, yet still we stand. May we remember that, like the tree, every season has its purpose, and every stage of growth holds its own quiet beauty.
