That’s such a beautiful way of putting it. That the obstacles we go through get absorbed into the bloodstream n become part of us
The opposite of a flexible reed, or grass, is being a dry stick.
If we try to be rigid and resist change in our life, there's a possibility that our sense of self could snap or break.
Having a receptive, open mind - in the face of inner and outer change -we can be a lot stronger.
In many cultures strength is seen as unyielding, when evolution and what we see in nature around us suggests the opposite.
