The tree outside my window
Though heavily laden with snow
does not lament its burden:
It simply waits
for a good strong wind
or a sunny day.

Rebecca,
This poem is a good metaphor for humans and said so simply. Let go, and wait. I find it sustaining.
Thank you.

I love this. I have often thought the same about the sparrows huddled in that tree. Patience. Acceptance.
