Love nurtures the roots necessary for future growth, and this can be compared to the Chinese bamboo.
This ancient plant is renowned for its unique combination of seemingly opposing traits such as flexibility, rigidity, and resilience. To cultivate Chinese bamboo, three essential elements are needed: seeds, nutrient-rich soil preparation, and trust.
After five years, shoots begin to emerge from the ground, and within a year, the bamboo can reach impressive heights. How does it accomplish this? For the first five years, the bamboo quietly grows downward, diligently developing its roots. These deep roots are what enable its rapid and substantial upward growth.
Similarly, children need strong roots—human formation that focuses on developing and solidifying good habits for life.
