BONSAI: BEAUTY OF LIFE

You probably just see a little tree when you look at it. But be mindful and you will see its beauty and the beauty of its application in life.

It is a very small tree indeed, requiring lots of care and love. You need just the right amount of water, sunlight, oxygen, and fertilizer for it to grow perfectly. You control how it grows and you trim it because if you don’t trim it, it will probably grow out of control and look like some random tree.

You are supposed to groom it.

If it is well taken care of, it becomes like a flower if not worth more, and it lives for many years.

So is the same with life, and thus the reason I am writing this. Actually ‘Living the life of a bonsai’ should’ve been the title of this.

If you care for yourself like the tree, with just the right amount of water, sunlight etc (which is in the form of family, knowledge, friends, love, care, thoughts) you could be just like the tree. You take control of yourself and you trim your life from a wild tree into a flower. Even when you age, you age like the tree; small and young looking but having hidden the hands of time for centuries. You too can grow old in wisdom, love, care, friends, family, experience and thoughts, but remaining young on the outside and filled with joy. You can be old but still green and filled with life.

It is all about how you care for your tree. Your life is like the tree. Give yourself the right amount of water, sunlight, fertilizer, trimming and oxygen, and you will unleash the beauty of life that lies within you.
