There is a tree.

There is a tree in front of me. 

Some weird dots on all sides of it signalling first arrivals of spring. It is a perfectly healthy, old, big tree. I like it. 

Few days later, the signs of fresh leaves get more evident. 

A month later, the tree is blossoming with lush green heavy leaves. 

The tree enjoys its time. The attention it seems to be getting suddenly. 

The branches swirl around, hosting chirping birds and fruits. 

It gets rain, it gets sunshine. It seems life. 

Seasons pass. 

The tree stands in front of me. 

Some weird colors start appearing on the leaves. 

Few days later, the signs of fresh leaves departure get more evident. 

A month later, the tree is alone, dark, empty, naked. 

Everything about the tree changes except the trunk. 

The trunk's calmness, holding the tree, its link to its roots that makes it stay. 

Its trunk doesn't die with the dying of leaves. 

Its trunk doesn't rejoice with the arrival of the leaves. 

The pain happens in Spring and Autumn. 

The pain occurs with the arrival and departure. 

The pain is what happens. 

Again and again and again. 

Each time. Every time. 

From the day the tree is born till the day the tree dies. 

Pain is the natural process of it. 

Arrival and departure are natural processes. 

And they are marked with Pain. 

With each dying of leaf, the tree takes the pain, and gives it into the roots. 

The roots absorb the pain, making the tree resilient as it is. 

Summer doesn't reflect happiness. 

Winter doesn't reflect sadness. 

In Life, 

There is no consistent happiness. There is no consistent sadness. 

They are marked by in between seasons of pain. 

Each moment of pain offers a natural channel.

A channel where the pain can be routed, can be channelized 

into the roots of the Heart. 

The Heart has Him. He is the Heart.  

Giving pain to Him, makes us more resilient. Stronger. 

Our little heart than grows its own neurons of wisdom. 

And that is what keeps the tree strong. 

That is what keeps us going. Strong. Calm. Peaceful. Happy at Heart. 

While the seasons change outside, we are Happy with Him inside.
