Adaptation changes colors –
vividly reflecting the times
it celebrates seasons
Shedding sustains being –
detaching a little at a time
makes for a long life
Dormancy practices stillness –
listening to a cold wind
keeps possibilities open
“Out” is naked and vulnerable –
exposure does not cancel
it respects truth and goodness
Blossoms renew relationship –
it takes a village
to make an orchard
Fruition harmonizes –
harvesting disrupts
cultivating restores

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way:
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say,
'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called
me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so
smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
