Another music inspired post. I'll admit that I like to watch American Idol. I mostly enjoy the first part of the season with the auditions. I understand how hard it can be to go into a room and sing in front of judges; but not all of us were blessed with the voice of an angel. I remember watching the year that Carrie Underwood won. She has accomplished a lot since then . . . 2 albums and some great awards to her credit.
This is one of my favorite songs by her from her first album. I'm sure we all have moments in our lives where we just have to through our hands in the air and say that you need help. You can't do it all on your own anymore.
As I started to picture the trees in the storm, the answer began to dawn on me. The trees in the storm don't try to stand up straight and tall and erect. They allow themselves to bend and be blown with the wind. They understand the power of letting go. Those trees and those branches that try too hard to stand up strong and straight are the ones that break. Now is not the time for you to be strong, Julia, or you, too, will break. ~ Julia Butterfly Hill
Some think it's holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it's letting go. ~ Sylvia Robinson
