Above the ground, we see two trees. One is tall, full, and confident. It smiles and points mockingly at the smaller tree beside it. The small tree looks sad, discouraged, almost ashamed of its size and sparse leaves. On the surface, the difference is obvious — one looks successful and strong, the other looks weak and unimpressive. But beneath the soil, the real story is revealed. The tall tree has shallow, thin roots that barely stretch into the earth. Its strength is mostly appearance. The smaller tree, however, has deep, thick, tangled roots spreading far and wide underground. It is firmly grounded, deeply planted, and strongly connected to its source of nourishment. The message is clear: what is visible is not the full truth. Some people look successful, loud, and confident on the outside, but lack depth, foundation, and resilience. Others may appear small, overlooked, or underestimated, yet they are deeply rooted in strength, character, faith, experience, and endurance. Growth is not always about height. Strength is not always about appearance. True stability comes from what is built in secret. The picture reminds us: never laugh at someone’s current size. Storms reveal whose roots are deeper.

Are you avoiding the pain… or facing it to finally grow?

We've lost two people close to us. One who was close to my oldest sister and one dear friend that was close to me. I'll be attending their memorial/funeral on Friday.

I planted these rose cuttings 20 days ago and i think 1 out of four is about to work😅😍all thanks to @Marama Rawenata who guided me to make a green house for it to get a better result and only that one survived🙂
